There’s no truth to the rumor that Dan Doyle Jr. owns a customer appreciation card issued by his local chamber of commerce, offering him a free dealership when DEX Imaging buys 10. Given the volume of deals completed by the Tampa, Florida-based consolidation machine, it just seems that way.
Doyle, the CEO of DEX, finished off yet another acquisition with the addition of Business Machine Products Inc. (BMP) of Greensboro, North Carolina. Meanwhile, Clover Imaging Group obtained Phoenix Direct, an e-commerce fulfillment and marketing services firm based in Georgia.
DEX Imaging, the largest independent dealer of document imaging technology in the United States, added to its substantial portfolio by reeling in BMP. Founded in 1995 by Dan Tucker as an HP, Brother, Xerox, and Okidata dealership, BMP delivers a seamless alignment with DEX Imaging’s existing growth strategy, thus offering a perfect fit.
“The addition of BMP boosts DEX Imaging’s existing dominance in North Carolina, where we have had a stronghold since 2016,” Doyle said. “BMP customers will now not only reap the benefits provided by DEX Imaging’s vast service teams but will also have the advantage of choosing from a wider variety of best-in-class products and software solutions.”
The BMP staff will join forces with DEX Imaging’s as one cohesive unit.
