Local office equipment companies merge
M&M Sales Co. has merged with Imaging Technologies. On July 1 the two office equipment firms became MMIT Business Solutions Group. In 1937, Des Moines businessman Gilbert Minor opened M&M Sales to help businesses grow using technology — meaning typewriters and adding machines. The 80-year old company — the first to sell and service office copiers in the metro area — teams up with 33-year-old Imaging Technologies, a company that brings crucial computer and network systems to the merger. Tom Minor, grandson of M&M’s founder becomes president of the new company, which will celebrate with a ribbon-cutting and short program at noon Wednesday at 4201 N.W. Urbandale Drive in cooperation with the Urbandale Chamber of Commerce.
