Global Imaging buys Merizon Group

The Wisconsin-based Merizon Group has been purchased by Xerox subsidiary Global Imaging Systems.

Copier and printer distributor MBM, which was earlier called Modern Business Machines, is run by Merizon Group Inc.

As part of the latest acquisition by Global Imaging, office printing products from Xerox have now been added to the line-up of products being distributed by MBM.

Customers buying products from MBM can now benefit from Xerox's technology and managed print services.

Tom Salierno, Jr, executive vice president of Global Imaging Systems, said: "This move opens up opportunities to bring new solutions to an expanded customer base.

"With MBM, we are growing our distribution, bringing our combined strengths in document technology and services to help workplaces of any size simplify the way they get work done."

Fritz Merizon, president of MBM, said: "Since 1956, MBM has been the leading document technology and imaging products company in northeastern Wisconsin.

"This move is all about helping our customers in a way that will benefit them through enhanced access to industry leading technology backed by a national support network."
