“As a family owned and operated business that has grown significantly over the last 42 years, we are proud of how we’ve evolved our business into a powerful national managed print provider,” said Steve Tamburrino, senior vice president of sales at RS Business Machines. “With this new FlexPrint partnership, we believe there’s a significant opportunity to accelerate our growth, expand our business, and open up wonderful career opportunities for our employees. This is truly a win-win opportunity for all of us.”
“RS Business Machines has earned a long-standing reputation for having a strong Managed Print Initiative and always taking care of their customers,” said Frank Gaspari, CEO of FlexPrint, LLC. “This is a perfect partnership for Flex Technology Group, broadening our national network and giving us immediate access to the Great Lakes Region. Our national platform is much stronger, and our capital structure gives us a significant opportunity to further accelerate our growth. We enthusiastically welcome the Tamburrino family and all the employees at RS Business Machines.”
The Tamburrino family will be equity holders in FlexPrint, LLC. The RS Business Machines executive team will remain in their current leadership roles to preserve their successful 42-year history of serving their employees, customers and community.
