Where We’ve Been

When Ron and Mary Forbes started their office equipment company in 1960, neither envisioned that the office of the 1960s with its row upon row of desks, clattering typewriters and adding machines, would give way to the high-tech, soft-textured, personalized office of the 21st Century where the computer, network connectivity and color copier have revolutionized office work. They started the business in a small storefront, in Newton, with only a card table to display merchandise. At that time, Forbes’ mainstays were early models of electric typewriters and adding machines. For copies, people depended upon carbons or the thermofax machine.

Where We Are Now

Forbes Office Solutions is the premier office machine and supply company in the Eastern Central Iowa area. We currently offer technologies that allow customers to print right to their copier from their computer. From the desktop to the boardroom, Forbes has the knowledge and technology our customers need.

Where We Are Going

As technology continues to develop Forbes continues to educate our staff and customers on emerging technologies. Forbes will continue to stay current with technology to provide the best information for our customers possible. Grow your business with Forbes and let Forbes help grow your business with others.
