Syracuse, NY (Jan. 9, 2026)<\/em> \u2014 Usherwood Office Technology, a provider of office technology, managed services and business solutions throughout the Northeast region of the United States, is marking its 50th anniversary, reflecting on five decades of growth, innovation, and service to customers, employees and the communities it serves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1976 by Charles and Carol Usherwood, Usherwood began as a family-run business operating out of the first floor of their home in Oswego, New York. Built on hard work, technical expertise, and a strong belief in doing right by customers, the company quickly established a reputation for dependable service and forward-thinking solutions, a tradition that has remained consistent as it has expanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe one cultural component that stays from the very beginning till today is the culture of family,\u201d said Charlie Usherwood, the company\u2019s chief technology officer. \u201cWe have always believed in treating employees and clients like members of our family. That approach has fueled our growth and still drives the way we build trust and make long-lasting relationships today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past 50 years, Usherwood has continuously evolved alongside workplace technology. From early days servicing typewriters, copiers, and fax machines to becoming one of the first companies in the nation to offer a total office solution. That commitment continues today through IT services, cybersecurity, cloud communications, security and surveillance, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company credits its success to a people-first culture. Usherwood has been named one of Central New York\u2019s Best Places to Work for over a decade and has consistently earned Elite Dealer honors within the office technology industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 2013, Usherwood won one of the Best Places to Work in Syracuse. That\u2019s your employees telling others they like coming to your office. There can be no higher compliment to an owner of a business than that,\u201d said Lou Usherwood, CEO<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employees say Usherwood is a place where teamwork, respect, and career growth come together. That culture has allowed the company to grow through three generations of family leadership while holding fast to its founding principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe mission for the third generation is to execute what the first and second generations built and that\u2019s continuing to deliver world-class services to our clients,\u201d said Lindsay Usherwood, general counsel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the company looks ahead, leadership remains focused on the future of technology and service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs Usherwood celebrates this milestone, we remain focused on what has defined us for five decades, investing in our employees, strengthening our services as the IT world evolves, and delivering meaningful solutions for our clients,\u201d said Ken Stinson, president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
