DEX Imaging has made a significant addition in the Lone Star State with the acquisition of Southwest Office Systems (SOS), according to several sources.
Located in Euless, Texas, near the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, SOS was founded by Victor Puente in 1964 as a typewriter repair company, and he was joined in 1972 by his sons, Victor Jr. (Buddy) and Vince. SOS is a multi-line dealer carrying Sharp, Epson and Formax products.
A repeat ENX Magazine-recognized Elite Dealer and a Sharp Hyakuman Kai honoree, SOS posted sales in the $10 million to $20 million range in its most recent fiscal year.
It marks the fourth Texas operation for Tampa, Florida-based DEX Imaging, which has branches in Corpus Christi, Dallas and Arlington.
Neither DEX Imaging nor SOS immediately responded to a request for comment.
