A family-owned Anderson Business Technology (ABT) opened in 1912 as Anderson Typewriter in Pasadena. An early advertising slogan was "We sell and service anything that writes," and indeed, the company credits its longevity with its ability to adapt with the times, moving first from manual to electric typewriters and then to computer-based communications.
In 2024, ABT was acquired by AIS - Advanced Imaging Solutions, Inc., offers an array of digital-connected office equipment, as well as stand-alone copiers, fax, printers, shredders, dictation equipment, and calculators. Services include consultation, purchase/lease/rental options, free installation, customized training, and on-going product support.
AIS is a renowned industry leader in providing comprehensive office technology solutions, including copiers, printers, managed IT services, VoIP phone systems, security cameras with access control, and digital marketing services, to Nevada and Southern California markets. This acquisition allows AIS to expand its operations further and extend its high-quality services to the Pasadena and the greater Los Angeles region, while integrating ABT's experienced team members.
