Fisher’s Technology Acquires Managed Print Services Business From VLCM

Fisher’s Technology has acquired the managed print services business from Utah-based IT solution provider VLCM. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

This is technology M&A deal number 774 that ChannelE2E has covered so far in 2022.

Fisher’s Technology, founded in 1936, is based in Boise, Idaho. The company has 142 employees listed on LinkedIn. Fisher’s Technology’s areas of expertise include copiers/printers, managed IT services and document automation.

VLCM, founded in 1983, is based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company has 152 employees listed on LinkedIn. VLCM’s areas of expertise include networking, VoIP, IT services, computers, printers/copiers, audio/visual and more.

VLCM says it will retain all other areas of business including cybersecurity, data center, BU/DR, virtualization, hybrid cloud, networking, Microsoft, UC, audio/visual and professional services.

Fisher’s will operate out of VLCM’s Utah location until Fisher’s finds a new location in the Salt Lake City area, the company said. VLCM’s Managed Print Services business unit is expected to be rebranded to Fisher’s Technology.
