Our History
Premier Office Equipment began in December 1999 with a vision. Four seasoned, experienced professionals resolved to use their vast experience in the office equipment industry to provide clients in Iowa the very best in office technology and support service. Over 10 years and 1,500 clients later, Premier is still living this mission through all of our employees. This vision that is best typified with the 18 words of our mission statement:
“Our commitment is to provide our clients with superior office technology and exceptional customer service through local people”
We vowed on our very first day to not only create this pledge, but to teach each Premier employee to live this mission every single day. This is an integral part of the Premier culture and its positive effects are felt by all of our clients throughout Iowa.
