Pacific Office Automation Acquires Texas Dealer

On September 1st, Pacific Office Automation (POA), which claims to be the largest office equipment reseller and managed services provider in the U.S., announced it had acquired On Demand Inc, a Houston, Texas-based office technology dealer, for an undisclosed sum. The transaction closed on August 31. 

POA says the acquisition extends its footprint into the Houston market, adding a showroom in the Galleria area and expanding the company’s presence across Texas. 

“This acquisition strengthens our ability to serve customers in one of the country’s most dynamic business markets,” commented Adam Pritchett, CEO of Pacific Office Automation. “

On Demand Inc. has served the Houston market for more than 25 years as an authorized dealer for a range of OEMs including Xerox, Kyocera, Ricoh, and FP Mailing Solutions. Customers can expect the same quality products, services, and support, now backed by Pacific Office Automation.

“Since 1999, we’ve built this business around innovative technology, prestigious offerings, and quality service,” said Mike Gray, Owner, On Demand Inc. “Finding the right partner mattered, and POA stood out as an independent company that puts customers and employees first. I’m confident they’ll build on what we started more than 25 years ago.” 

After celebrating the company’s 50th anniversary earlier this year, POA continues to expand both its geographic reach and technical capabilities. In April, the company announced the acquisition of Western Business Products, extending its presence along the Interstate 5 corridor between Medford, Oregon, and Sacramento, California, and later announced the acquisition of MKCnext, a Southern California-based leader in high-end wide-format printing equipment, service, and consumables.
