WiZiX Technology Group, Inc. announced that it has acquired California Business Machines, Inc. (CBM) in Fresno, CA, marking their seventh acquisition within their first seven years of business. For the current and near future, CBM will continue to be managed by Teri Brymer and operate as an independent wholly owned subsidiary of WiZiX Technology Group, Inc.
Like WiZiX, CBM places customer service, support, and satisfaction at the utmost importance. With CBM’s 71 years of experience serving the Central Valley, they have built a loyal base of customers and a reputation for innovation. These similarities in core beliefs to exceed expectations make for a seamless transition, in which this acquisition serves to continue WiZiX’s commitment to the Central Valley region.
“I am extremely excited about the opportunity to partner with Teri Brymer and California Business Machines. My family and I have deep roots in Fresno, which is where I started my career in this industry 40 years ago,” said Gary Johnson, president & CEO of WiZiX Technology Group.
Gary continued his expression of enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, “I’ve always had a tremendous amount of respect for CBM as a competitor, the level of service they provide has resulted in an extremely loyal customer base. Combined, WiZiX and CBM represent a significant market share in the Office Technology space in the Central Valley Region. Together, I think we can leverage that advantage and bring a higher level of opportunity to our Customers and Employees.”
Founded in 2017, WiZiX’s continued rapid growth has kept them on the map as one of the region’s largest independent providers of office technology in the Central & Northern California and Northern Nevada regions. With headquarters in broader Sacramento, WiZiX has already been named one of Sacramento’s Top 50 Fastest Growing Companies for the current and past year by Sacramento Business Journal.
“CBM is an integral part of me. Born in Fresno 70 years ago, just after my parents founded California Business Machines, I have been working in the family business since attending Fresno State in the early 70s. The CBM employees and customers are like family,” said Teri Brymer, president of California Business Machines. “For these reasons, I sought out another company in the industry that could take my company safely into the future with growth and new products and services while maintaining what we’re all about. Gary Johnson’s Team at WiZiX Technology Group is THAT company! I am excited for our two teams to merge and grow together. For it is together, that we will continue providing Central California, Northern California, and Northern Nevada the BEST there is in Office Technology products, support, and service.”
The six prior acquisitions of WiZiX include Stanton Office Machines of Fresno, Scott Technology Group of Sacramento, Complete Business Systems of Livermore, Edward Office Systems of Sacramento, Intelligent Copier Solutions of Rohnert Park, and Toshiba America Business Solutions, Inc of Reno. Additionally, with their upcoming seventh anniversary in October 2024, WiZiX anticipates kicking off their eighth year in business with the close of their eighth acquisition projected for the October 1, 2024.
“WiZiX has had an extremely aggressive acquisition strategy over the last seven years, and we will continue this strategy,” proclaimed CEO Gary Johnson. “But even more importantly, during the same period WiZiX’s organic growth is responsible for over 60% of our revenue. I am very proud of our team for all the effort they have put forth into achieving this level of success. The future is very bright!”
