Seattle company buys Bend copier business

Synergy Office Systems, which has supplied the Bend area with Canon copiers and other supplies since 1989, was sold last week to Copiers Northwest, a Seattle-based copier and printer company. Bob Browning, the owner of Synergy Office Systems, said that he had been approached by several companies looking to buy the business in recent years, but that this deal, which he said was completed March 31, was the first that made sense. Synergy Office Systems, located in the Deschutes Business Center on Empire Drive, is an authorized distributor of Canon and Samsung copiers, scanners and fax machines. The company also offers maintenance for laser printers and technical support for all their products.
