PHOENIX, November 1, 2006 – Sharp Document Solutions Company of America (SDSCA) today announced that it has established a direct regional sales operation through its new division, Sharp Business Systems. The first branch, Sharp Business Systems of Arizona, opened today. The Company plans to establish more than 20 local Sharp Business Systems branches during the next few years.
“Sharp Business Systems will help Sharp continue to grow the business and strengthen Sharp’s distribution in key markets nationwide,” said Ed McLaughlin, President, SDSCA. “Our direct branch strategy will augment our strong independent dealer channel by enabling Sharp to better understand customer needs and then translating that into outstanding products and support for our dealers.”
