Precision Roller, a leading supplier of OEM and aftermarket office machine parts and supplies, is celebrating its 50th anniversary, a testament to its enduring presence and adaptability in an industry marked by rapid technological advancements. Founded on November 20, 1974, in a garage, the company initially focused on manufacturing urethane squeegee rollers for electrostatic photocopiers, quickly establishing a reputation for quality and innovation.
The company's ability to adapt was first tested in the late 1970s with the introduction of liquid copying technology by Savin's 770 copier. Precision Roller responded by developing polyester foam rollers, positioning itself as a key supplier for this new technology. The 1980s saw another shift towards plain paper copiers, prompting the company to innovate further with silicone fuser rollers and spray-coating techniques for Teflon heat rollers, which became industry standards.
Facing increased competition from Chinese manufacturers in the 1990s, Precision Roller transformed its business model from manufacturing to marketing, focusing on providing a wide range of OEM and aftermarket parts and supplies by 1997. This strategic pivot underscored the company's resilience and commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its customers.
Today, Precision Roller serves thousands of businesses worldwide, a reflection of American ingenuity and the ability to thrive amidst technological and market changes. The company's journey mirrors the evolution of office technology, from electrostatic copiers to advanced digital printing systems. As the industry moves towards more sustainable and efficient solutions, Precision Roller's commitment to innovation and adaptability positions it well for future challenges and opportunities.
Brian Kuhlmann, CEO and Founder of Precision Roller, emphasized the company's dedication to excellence and customer service, stating, 'We are committed to continuing our tradition of excellence and adapting to the ever-changing needs of our customers.' This anniversary not only celebrates Precision Roller's achievements but also highlights the dynamic nature of the office machine industry and the importance of adaptability in achieving long-term success.
