...Our History: Part 2 of (2)
During that 1st year of business customers poured in, and Bob knew he was on the right track. In 1996 IOT hired his it’s first employee and relocated to an office in Mendota Heights, MN.
The business continued to grow over the next couple years, and with expanded customers and employees, we quickly outgrew the location. In 1998 we moved to Eagan, MN into larger offices, with ample warehouse space.
In 1999 we created and released our own custom brand of laser toner cartridges called PEAKTONER. Although many other brands of toner were available in the market, we decided to create PEAKTONER as a product of quality, rather than cost. No corners were cut and only the best materials were used. PEAKTONER quickly took off and was well received by IOT’s clients.
In 2003, it was time to move again. Staying in Eagan, we they moved into a bigger office with more warehouse space for future growth. Business was good, and the name of our flagship program (TLC) was changed to Total Imaging Care, to better reflect our expansion into the copier, fax machine and document imaging markets.
In 2007 IOT released it’s own brand of refurbished laser printers, IOT Certified printers. This addition complimented the offerings of new copiers, printers and fax machines nicely. Our customers could now take advantage of a full line of hardware, supplies and service from IOT.
2008 will mark IOT’s 13th birthday and we’ve come along way since those days in the basement of Bob’s parents house. With 20+ employees, 15,000 square feet of office and warehouse space and over 6000 printers to manage across the Twin Cities, we look forward to servicing and supplying the Twin Cities for years to come.
