Flo-Tech News
In response to recent press stories regarding the security vulnerability of HP LaserJet Printers, HP released the statement below. Flo-Tech will provide additional information as it becomes available. In the interim, please contact your Flo-Tech account manager with any questions regarding this announcement.
Flo-Tech, a long time HP Elite Office Printing Solutions Partner, has now been recognized as an HP Managed Print Advanced Specialist - one of only 70 HP partners nationwide to earn this designation
This has been quite a year for Flo-Tech earning the 2011 Dealer of the Year Award through imageSource Magazine, having Flo-Tech CEO, Leo Bonetti, named among “The Top 40 Most Influential People in the Imaging Industry”, and now earning the Elite Dealer Award.
The Elite Dealer Award, now conducted by The Week in Imaging, “honors the best and the brightest in the imaging technology dealer community. The focus for this recognition is based on growth, innovative marketing and sales programs, community leadership, and leadership within the industry.” Flo-Tech is proud and honored to be included among this “Elite” group of the 40 top dealers in the industry. Flo-Tech was featured in a recent issue of The Week in Imaging highlighting their extensive experience in managed print services – something Flo-Tech has been providing since long before the term MPS came about. “Sometimes it pays to be ahead of the technological curve. That’s where Flo-Tech, an office technology dealership based in Middletown, Connecticut was back in 1992 when the company was first founded. From the outset, the Flo-Tech’s sole focus was on printing and imaging. Back then they were doing a variation of managed print services long before anyone was using that terminology and before most copier dealers began thinking outside of ‘the box’.”
Flo-Tech was featured on the cover of the June issue of imageSource Magazine as the Perfect Image Awards Dealer of the Year. The issue also included a feature article on Flo-Tech’s success as a managed print services provider and unique position in the managed print services market. The article highlights Flo-Tech’s unique set of skills, background and experience in delivering managed print solutions and their ability to support a wide variety of customer environments and devices including printers, copiers, mfps, scanners and faxes.
Flo-Tech was selected as one of Canon’s top 30 dealers in the United States to attend their 2010 recognition event for the independent dealer channel. Flo-Tech was selected for this event based on outstanding performance in 2010 and achieving well over 234% of year over year objectives.
May 2011 - Flo-Tech CEO named as one of the “Top 40 Most Influential People in the Imaging Industry”
Flo-Tech CEO Leo Bonetti was named in “The Week in Imaging’s Top 40 Most Influential People in the Imaging Industry”. As defined by The Week in Imaging’s editor, Scott Cullen, “These are the thought leaders, the movers and shakers, and those who have made a difference in their organizations or in the industry and continue to make a difference today.”
Meet a dealer who has found a way to leverage sustainability initiatives in his business and make a successful transition into managed print services. Those two initiatives place Bonetti ahead of the curve and firmly in the realm of influential independent dealers. We can also acknowledge him for making Flo-Tech one of the fastest-growing private companies and his participation on HP’s Partner Advisory Board, but we’re going to stick with the innovative ‘green’ programs that Flo-Tech has created and the managed print services programs that give them a sizable edge over their competition. “He has one of the three largest MPS companies in the country,” notes Tom Callinan from Strategy Development. “He’s grown the company from nothing to tens of millions, done acquisitions, and hires really talented people both at the senior level and for his front line managers.”
imageSource Magazine’s may issue is their ITEX wrap up issue highlighting winners of their Perfect Image Awards that were announced at the ITEX National Expo and Conference. At that time Flo-Tech was announced as the 2011 Dealer of the Year, the most prestigious of the 8 Perfect Image awards presented. In recognition of this significant achievement, imageSource will also be featuring Flo-Tech on the cover of their June issue along with a feature article.
