CONNELLSVILLE, PA — July 21, 2026 — Ford Office Technologies, a premier regional provider of office technology and managed business solutions, has officially announced its acquisition of Komax, following the conclusion of bankruptcy proceedings where Ford was named the winning bidder. The transition, effective July 20, 2026, marks another major milestone in Ford’s targeted regional growth and solidifies its capacity to deliver secure, enterprise-grade business solutions across the Mid-Atlantic.

The acquisition brings Komax’s extensive customer base into the Ford ecosystem, immediately providing long-term operational stability and direct access to an expanded portfolio of advanced office technologies. While maintaining the core print and copier support structures that Komax clients rely on, Ford will introduce its specialized suite of secondary services to the client base, including Managed IT services, comprehensive cybersecurity frameworks, cloud-based data management, and unified communications (VoIP).

To ensure a seamless handoff, Ford Office Technologies is working directly with Komax leadership and technical personnel during the operational integration. This approach prioritizes service continuity, ensuring that client environments remain stable and supported by familiar technical professionals who understand their specific operational needs.

“Our main objective with this acquisition is to provide immediate, absolute security to Komax clients,” said Johnathan Garlow, CEO of Ford Office Technologies. “We recognize that navigating a vendor’s structural transition introduces uncertainty. Ford brings the corporate health, established manufacturer channels, and deep logistical infrastructure required to protect these accounts and elevate their long-term technology experience.”

Administratively, the operational transition is structured for maximum client convenience. Account systems, service ticketing, and billing workflows will be systematically integrated into Ford’s centralized platforms over the coming days. Existing client communication channels remain open, and customers will receive direct guidance from the joint integration team regarding standard administrative updates.

This acquisition directly supports Ford Office Technologies’ long-term vision of expanding its footprint throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, and Maryland, establishing the organization as the definitive single-source provider for modern workplace technology.
