Global Imaging Systems Acquires Jacksonville-based Bennett’s Business Systems

TAMPA, Fla. – Global Imaging Systems, A Xerox Company (NYSE: XRX), has acquired Bennett’s Business Systems, Inc., of Jacksonville, Fla.

 

Bennett’s, an independent distributor of Canon and HP copiers, printers and multifunction systems will immediately begin offering Xerox’s full range of office printing products.  The company, located in Jacksonville, Orlando and Tallahassee, will become part of Saxon Business Systems, Inc., a Global Imaging Systems company headquartered in Miami Lakes, Fla.
