As technology has improved, the relationship between a sheet of 8 ½ by 11” paper and the mechanical guts of a printer has become more and more like an old married couple. Most days, they get along beautifully and there isn’t a single concern or disruption as they go through their daily routines together.

Thanks to a well-known car insurance company, we all know that “mayhem” can wreak havoc on the roadways. But, just like getting stuck trying to change a tire in a heavy rainstorm, you can get stuck bending over a printer, trying to change out an ink cartridge, jiggling the USB cable of a non-networked printer that won’t print, or yanking out a paper jam…and then that paper jam turns out to be a co-worker’s birthday party invitation for their kid.

SumnerOne is proud to operate out of America’s Heartland. When we look to the East or West, North or South, all we see are wonderful communities that represent the values of hard work and local commitment. Recently, SumnerOne expanded our reach by acquiring two of our good neighbors.

Ever played that game where you look up at passing clouds and point out objects, as in “that one looks like a teddy bear”, or “that one has the profile of Uncle Harry!” That is kind of similar to the games that have been floating around our offices about our new logo.  

You know those makeover shows where someone’s inner beauty is revealed with just a wardrobe upgrade and a bit of makeup? And, despite the fact that their friends and family loved them just the way they were, no one was sad to see the “old look” condemned to the garbage pile?  

If you read our Welcome, you know that we’re out to prove that we are the one place where everything works.  We have always known that our people can get the job done for our customers as they consult on, design, install and service our technology solutions.  But, something didn’t quite ring true in our promise: the one place? ONE? 

We’ve been around for 62 years for one reason and one reason, only: the thing we really care about is you, our customer.  We don’t think of ourselves as a copier dealer, and two decades ago, we didn’t think of ourselves as a mimeograph vendor. We have survived and thrived in our industry because we are a service organization, one that is always trying to figure out how we make your life easier at work.
