This partnership further fuels our goals of adding quality companies to our platform while becoming the largest office technology provider in the nation.”
“This partnership with Flex Technology Group is exciting for our employees, our customers, and the communities that we serve,” added David Bartlow, president of Millennium Business Systems. “The FTG platform will continue to let us operate at a local level, allow us to further expand our reach, add additional value & solution offerings to our customers and enhance our employees’ work environment by becoming a part of a larger, national office technology company.”
Flex Technology Group has expanded rapidly since 2016. Their portfolio of office technology companies now includes 16 partner dealerships generating over $340 million in annual revenues and serves over 60,000 customers nationwide.

Scott’s Spin
September has been an active month for acquisitions with a total of five so far. The private equity-backed UBEO Business Services has acquired five companies while independently owned Kelley Imaging Systems, has acquired seven companies this year. These are the second and third acquisitions by Oval Partners/FTG this year, following Office Equipment of Texarkana and South Arkansas in April and Shamrock Office Solutions in January.
It’s likely we’re going to see many more acquisitions before the year is out. And don’t be surprised to see even more acquisitions announced by Oval Partners and FTG.
