Pleasanton,
California – January 18, 2005 – The Officia Group, Inc.,
a network of independent office equipment companies, today
announced the acquisition of California Copy Products located
in Los Angeles, California and West Coast Terminals based

These
acquisitions bring the Officia Group network to four California

Area, and Coast Imaging Systems in San Diego. The Officia
Group was founded in 2003 on the principle that locally
managed companies offer customers a distinct advantage over

County markets and happy to bring these well respected companies
into the Officia family of independent companies,” said
Thomas Deverell, president and CEO of The Officia Group.
“These acquisitions will expand our reach and bring new
opportunity to our customers, employees and business partners.
Our unique decentralized decision-making process empowers
our local leaders to make decisions quickly, respond rapidly
to local market conditions and deliver superior customer
service.”
Jack
Maxwell, founder of California Copy Products and West Coast
Terminals said, “It is not easy to let go of something you
built, but I am confident that the Officia Group has the
track record and resources to successfully take these companies
to the next level.” Mr. Maxwell plans to spend more time
with his family and pursue other business interests.
“The
Officia Group is committed to providing California Copy
Products and West Coast Terminals customers with excellent
service,” said Todd Rogers, Officia’s executive vice president,
“Through our independent company model, we offer quality
products, responsive service, competitive pricing and an
