Acquisitions
To further strengthen our distribution capacity, in 2008 we completed several acquisitions.
We acquired Veenman B.V. (“Veenman”), expanding our reach into the small and mid-size business market in the Netherlands. Veenman is the Netherlands’ leading independent distributor of office printers, copiers and multifunction devices serving small and mid-size businesses.
Global Imaging Systems, Inc. (“GIS”) acquired Saxon Business Systems, an office equipment supplier with offices throughout Florida and three smaller acquisitions: Better Quality Business Systems, Precision Copier Service Inc. DBA Sierra Office Solutions and Inland Business Systems of Chico.
