Marco Expands in Illinois with New Acquisition

by ·

On July 19th, Marco announced that is acquired All/Pro Office Technology, a copier and printer dealer located in Alton, Illinois, for an undisclosed sum. Marco’s sales and service team will serve and support All/Pro’s clients from Marco’s current location in Fenton, Missouri.

Bill Moyer, one of the founders of All/Pro Office Technology, said he had been approached many times over the years by companies that were interested in acquiring All/Pro. An associate told him to talk with Marco when he was ready to retire. After researching Marco and its reputation with customers, as well as the quality customer service Marco provides, Moyer decided to sell All/Pro to Marco.

“I wanted my customers who have become my friends, to continue getting the same great service or even better than All/Pro has provided them for 29 years. Marco will continue the great service, along with offering more IT solutions and managed services,” Moyer said.

Founded in 1973 in St. Cloud, Minnesota, Marco expanded its presence to the Illinois area in 2014, with its purchase of Illinois Valley Business Equipment, with locations in Bloomington, Peoria and Peru.

Marco currently has 51 locations throughout the upper Midwest and East Coast, as well as 1,200 employees and over 30,000 clients.

“We are pleased to expand in our Illinois market with the acquisition of All/Pro Office Technology,” said Marco CEO Doug Albregts.

“We are always looking for good opportunities to expand in our current markets, and we have appreciated All/Pro Office Technology’s commitment to serving clients and the community,” Albregts said. “This acquisition enables us to continue to expand our copier and print business in communities we know well, while bringing our well-established expertise and solutions to new and existing clients.”
