History

1970-1980
The Canon Business Solutions companies began as four independently operated organizations marketing the Canon brand of office equipment in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

1980-1990
During the Eighties, Canon was setting new industry standards for black-and-white, color, and fax technology. By the end of the decade, all four independent sales companies had been purchased by Canon U.S.A. and comprised the foundation of the Canon subsidiary sales network.

2000-Present
In 2000, the names of each company changed to include Canon Business Solutions within their name in order to clarify to customers their relationship to Canon U.S.A., Inc. Coinciding with the name change was a national expansion to many of the top metropolitan regions within United States.

In 2003, the New York and Philadelphia subsidiary companies merged to combine strengths and grow throughout the East Coast, while the Central and West companies continued to grow within their regions.

On January 1, 2008, Canon Business Solutions-Central, Inc. and Canon Business Solutions-West, Inc. merged into Canon Business Solutions-East, Inc. to form Canon Business Solutions, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., Inc.  The combined strength and shared vision of the new Canon Business Solutions company better positions Canon to meet the growing demands of customers locally, regionally and nationally.  The result of this integration is a more streamlined organization, with enhanced systems and processes that allow us to better serve you at every level. 

Canon Business Solutions, Inc. has offices in most major metropolitan areas and continues to expand into cities where companies may benefit from working directly with a Canon U.S.A. sales subsidiary.
