Global Imaging Acquires Indiana Dealer
feb, 2008 Global Imaging Systems, a Xerox company, is acquiring Better Quality Business Systems Inc., of New Albany, Ind.
The
acquisition continues Global’s development of a national network of
office technology suppliers to serve its ever-expanding base of small
and mid-size businesses.Headquartered in Indiana, Better Quality also
serves Greater Louisville, Elizabethtown, and Bowling Green, Ky.,
primarily with products from Kyocera-Mita. The company will continue
supporting its Kyocera-Mita customers as it begins offering Xerox’s
full range of office printing products.”Better Quality Business Systems
has built a reputation as a trusted partner in the markets they serve,”
said Michael Shea, president and CEO of Global Imaging. “With this
acquisition, Global Imaging gains not only a classic partner, but an
entrée into a growing market.”

Company co-owner and president
Dwight Seals, will continue leading Better Quality as president,
reporting to Bill Schmidt, president of CopyCo Office Solutions Inc.,
of Indianapolis, also a Global company. Better Quality becomes a
satellite company of CopyCo., and will continue operating as Better
Quality Business Systems.”This is the next logical step for Better
Quality Business Systems, which has been growing and expanding for
years,” said Seals. “Becoming a member of the Global and Xerox family
only means better technology, support, and services for our customers.”

Global
Imaging is not acquiring the firm’s IT outsourcing business, Better
Quality IT, currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Better Quality
Business Systems. That group will continue under the leadership of Joe
Lawler, co-owner of Better Quality Business Systems. The IT company
will undergo a name change during the next few months.Better Quality
has been serving the Southern Indiana business community since 1985.
Seals and Lawler acquired it in 1997 and began dramatically expanding
the business into new markets in Kentucky.
