Our Management Team

Darrell Cox – President

Darrell began his career in the Office Equipment industry in the early 1980’s, during the days of Large Scale Main Frames. Darrell’s first job in the industry was at Sperry Univac as a Material Administrator in their Third Party Maintenance Division, it was Darrell’s job to locate parts and support for non-Sperry equipment, IBM, DEC, Telex, etc. Darrell was later promoted to a Field Service Engineer for Sperry Univac and serviced Large Scale disk, tape and printer sub-systems at the Various NASA sites in the Gulf Coast area.

In 1988 Darrell became one of three principals in a third party maintenance company that specialized in selling and servicing equipment manufactured by Sperry, Wang Labs and Burroughs. It was here that Darrell witnessed the birth of the laser printer and realized the impact laser printing would have in the importance of the printer and the printed document.

February 1994 ushered in Multitech Office Machines. Darrell saw a lack of professionals in the printer service industry, and prepared to fill a need in the market.
