When Systel Business Equipment began in Fayetteville on November 1, 1981, the business world looked a little different. Typewriters, filing cabinets, and traditional copiers were everyday fixtures in the office. Computers were still finding their place in the workplace, and the idea of managing business operations from a smartphone was hard to imagine.
Today, businesses rely on technology in ways that would have been difficult to picture back then. From digital workflows and cloud-based systems to cybersecurity and connected devices, the tools organizations use to operate have come a long way.
Systel has grown and evolved right alongside those changes. What began as a traditional office equipment provider has expanded into a company offering a much broader range of technology, services, and business solutions, including managed IT, cybersecurity, document management, and workplace technology.
For 45 years, Fayetteville has been home to Systel. While our footprint has expanded to 12 other locations across the region, our headquarters remain right here in Fayetteville. As a locally headquartered, family-owned business, we've had the opportunity to grow alongside this community and work with organizations throughout the region. We've seen businesses expand, industries change, and new opportunities emerge. Along the way, we've also had the privilege of building lasting relationships with customers, employees, and community members who have become part of our story.
Some of our customer relationships go back decades. Others are just getting started. Each represents a different chapter in our history, and we're grateful for the opportunity to continue working alongside businesses throughout the region.
Reaching 45 years is an opportunity to look back, but it's also a chance to appreciate the people who have helped shape the journey. From our employees and customers to the community that has supported us since the beginning, there are a lot of people who have made this milestone possible.
As Fayetteville continues to grow, we're proud to remain part of its business community. We're thankful for the relationships we've built, the opportunities we've been given, and the chance to keep growing from the place we've always called home.
Here's to 45 years in Fayetteville, and to everything still ahead!

As we move into November and prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, I’m reflecting on the many things that I am thankful for. First, I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends who brighten every day and bring me so much joy. I’m also thankful
