ISTORY OF
A
RLINGTON
Arlington Industries started in 1972 as a small distributor of
toner in the Chicago area. The company’s first building was
located in Arlington Heights, Illinois, and the company took its
name from that location. The three original owners/ employees
of the company served as the sales, purchasing, distribution,
credit, and marketing departments. Although our roots are
humble, the company grew quickly, and established relationships with the leading
manufacturers of yesterday and today.
In the late 1980s, Arlington began selling limited quantities
of compatible imaging supplies. Quality was always the top
concern, and the company intentionally kept distribution low
and the product SKUs limited. When compatible manufacturers
began to apply scientific principles to the remanufacturing
processes, quality improved dramatically. Arlington had the
vision to see that the improved quality and significant savings
in cost would eventually make compatibles the preferred alternative to OEM products.
After strategically aligning ourselves with a few key remanufacturers, Arlington is
now the leading full-line distributor of compatible imaging supplies in the United
States.
In 1989, Arlington expanded to include a sales and distribution
center in Atlanta, Georgia. Later, in 1991, a third location was
added in Los Angeles, California and the company became a
true nationwide distributor. During these years, we increased
our focus on copiers, fax products and on highly trained and
professional sales representatives. This focus paid off, and
Arlington soon became a preferred supplier to many of the
industry’s largest dealers and resellers. In order to better
serve our customers as a single-source supplier, Arlington also established direct
relationships with all of the major printer manufacturers.
Today, Arlington serves the entire nation out of five
distribution facilities. As always, we sell only to dealers, never
to end-users. We focus on consumable supplies for copiers,
fax machines and printers. As we have for the last 40 years,
Arlington continues to be your high value source for imaging
supplies.
