Superior Office Systems Announces Merger with Sapphire Office Solutions
NEW YORK, NY – (January 31, 2020) Superior Office Systems (“SOS”), a New York-based office equipment dealer and services provider, today announced the completion of a merger with Sapphire Office Solutions (“Sapphire”). Founded in 1999 by Paul Holstein and headquartered in Jericho, NY, Sapphire is an office equipment and services dealer focused on delivering best-in-class services within the tri-state area. Sapphire has partnerships with some of the industry’s top office equipment manufacturers, including Konica Minolta and Kyocera.
The merger is the first transaction for SOS since Rockwood Equity Partners completed a recapitalization in partnership with SOS co-founders, Eric Wolf and Tim Glover, in October 2019. It marks a major step in SOS’s planned evolution into a full service, “best-in-class” office solutions provider for the New York metropolitan and surrounding areas.
“A partnership with Sapphire is a perfect fit for SOS because both companies have built strong reputations for providing industry-leading products and services to office equipment customers in the area for two decades,” commented co-CEOs Tim and Eric. “Joining forces will allow the combined company to grow by serving a more diverse customer base through expanded product and service offerings across a range of price points.”
“I have known Tim and Eric for more than 10 years and have great respect for how they have grown SOS through manufacturer partnerships and an impressive service model,” said Paul Holstein, President of Sapphire. “I am excited to partner with them to provide our current and future customers with more expansive product and service offerings.”
Together, Tim Glover, Eric Wolf and Paul Holstein will serve as co-CEOs of the combined company.
