\u201cWe\u2019ve known Marco and its leadership for decades and have appreciated Marco\u2019s culture and ability to enhance its offerings, provide career paths for employees and give back in big and small ways to the local communities it serves,\u201d Peter Phillips, CEO and owner of Phillips Office Solutions. \u201cWe know Marco will be good stewards of our family legacy going forward and will serve our document management customers, team members and communities really well.\u201d<\/p>\n

From humble beginnings, both companies have earned a top spot in the industry for their ability to innovate, effectively serve customers and build a strong corporate culture. \u201cThe Phillips culture captured our attention,\u201d Marco CEO Jeff Gau said. \u201cWe share so many of the same core values.

Marco will be bringing its well-established IT expertise and solutions such as Managed IT Services, Hosted Voice and Microsoft Suite offerings to the market.<\/p>\n

Marco has been investing in the local communities it serves since 1973 and regularly organizes community involvement events through its extensive Gold Standard culture program. In addition to financial support, the company encourages their employees to volunteer for the causes they care about on company time. \u201cMarco has a long history of giving back to our communities,\u201d Gau said. \u201cWe believe it is not enough to do well as a company. We also need to do good.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company will operate as Phillips for a short time. Bill Shuey, former Phillips president, is now Regional President of Copier & ECM Solutions and serves on Marco\u2019s executive leadership team.
