Gordon Flesch Co. signed an agreement to acquire Advanced Systems Inc., an independent dealer in the office technology industry with offices in Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota. The combined company will be the largest independent office equipment dealership in the Midwest.

The merged company will be known as the Gordon Flesch Co. and will serve business customers in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio and South Dakota. In addition to similar service and technology offerings, GFC and ASI share similar cultures. GFC has been family-owned for 63 years, while ASI has been an employee-owned, independent dealer for 62 years.

“The similarities between our two companies are amazing, which is why we are convinced this will be a great strategic and cultural fit, offering a unique and exciting opportunity for both organizations to grow,” said Patrick Flesch, president of the Gordon Flesch Co.
