Diverse Business Solutions… Delivered

Company History

Guy Brown Products is a Certified Minority Women Business Enterprise and Small Disadvantaged Business. In 1997, long before “green” was a buzzword, Guy Brown started as a manufacturer of recycled toner cartridges for laser printers. Since then, we have expanded our offering with the goal of being a single source of a business’ office needs. Today, our offerings have expanded to include office products, print solutions, promotional marketing, MRO goods and furniture lines through our national infrastructure.

Services

Office Products

Guy Brown offers nationwide distribution of the entire spectrum of office products. We specialize in supporting large, geographically dispersed organizations with sophisticated requirements, with nearly ten years of experience servicing hundreds of national and regional accounts. Processing almost $1 billion in transactions, Guy Brown has the products, pricing, and services you need to run your business effectively, and you can expect a personalized approach to everything we do.

Guy Brown understands that office products go well beyond pens in a package: we deliver capabilities, consistency, and compliance. Coupling comprehensive electronic order capabilities with Personal Identification Number “PIN” tracking technology, we provide personalized customer service and detailed reporting: helping to drive savings and standardization within your organization. We can also help with your sustainability objectives, offering recycled products, customized delivery schedules, and order consolidation.

Print Solutions

Guy Brown was founded in 1997 with the vision of becoming the premier diversity provider of high quality re-engineered toner and ink cartridges. Our focus has always been on reducing our clients’ total cost of ownership. This vision has been realized, and today we provide numerous Fortune 500 companies, major healthcare systems and GPO’s with our products, support services. With a close eye on quality and the latest technological advances, you can be assured that our ISO 14001 and 9001 reengineered cartridges will perform at the same level as the OEM. And the savings can range from 20 to 50%. We help companies optimize their printing infrastructure to reduce costs and improve workflow. This success has taken us into all major industries as we continue to keep our initial focus of reducing costs in the desktop printer/MFD space.
