Spring is in full bloom, and along with the tulips and daffodils, a pair of acquisitions have sprung from the ground in the office technology dealer space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week\u2019s transactions feature Fisher\u2019s Technology, which obtained Terrell\u2019s Office Solutions, with several locations in Montana. Further west, Flex Technology Group picked up San Diego-based Copy Link, which will be rolled under FTG member company CBE Office Solutions but will continue to operate independently. And now, the details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fisher\u2019s Technology, the #1 Office Equipment and IT Services provider as voted by the Idaho Business Review, is excited to announce its continued expansion within Central and Eastern Montana. Fisher\u2019s, which has been providing service in the Bozeman and Billings markets for over five years, has acquired Terrell\u2019s Office Solutions as of May 2. Fisher\u2019s also has Montana locations in Missoula, Great Falls, Helena, and Butte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fisher\u2019s is similar to Terrell\u2019s with offerings in copy\/print technology and is also well-aligned in that their top priority is customer experience. Fisher\u2019s also provides managed IT services, telephone systems, and document management solutions as well as a larger portfolio in production print and managed print services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fisher\u2019s and Terrell\u2019s teams will merge at Terrell\u2019s Bozeman, MT location (215 Haggerty Ln, Bozeman, MT 59715) and Terrell\u2019s Billings team will be moving into Fisher\u2019s Billings location (2404 6th Ave N, Billings, MT 59101). Terrell\u2019s Office Solutions is expected to be rebranded to Fisher\u2019s Technology in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
