Over the past 30 years, GEI has also experienced growth and success in national and international markets including the newspaper, commercial printing and quick printing industries. Despite this tremendous growth, GEI has remained committed to serving the office equipment needs of their local customers with an exceptional sales and service force. The GEI story begins in 1970 in downtown Canton where three brothers began a company dedicate to selling and servicing copy machines and mimeographs. By 1979, GEI had begun its long relationship with Minolta and today remains the only authorized full-line Minolta dealer in Stark, Summit, Portage and Mahoning counties. Minolta has also recognized GEI's exceptional service through numerous awards including the Circle of Service Excellence Award and Minolta's Pro-Tech Service Award.
Any company can sell office equipment, but servicing that equipment is another story.
Our technicians are well-trained, keep up on the latest technology and are constantly exceeding our customers' expectations of service. Over the years, the office equipment industry has increasingly moved from analog to digital and GEI has kept up with the changing technology. In 1992, GEI acquired Connecting Point, the computer network specialists, to assist with the growing need for networked office equipment. The networking and document management capabilities of Connecting Point complement the growing number of digital products now offered by GEI Office Solutions. As the company celebrates its 30th Anniversary, GEI has positioned itself for growth and prosperity for the next 30 years and beyond.
