Unwavering Integrity and Commitment
to Innovation Since 1981
Who We Are
Systel Business Equipment is a locally rooted business technology and copier service provider headquartered in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Founded in 1981, we’ve grown from a small copier company into a full-service business technology partner supporting organizations across all 100 counties of North Carolina and parts of South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia.
We remain proudly independent, family-owned, and committed to helping businesses work smarter with reliable technology and responsive local service.
Where We Started
Systel was founded on November 1, 1981 by Keith Allison in Fayetteville, NC. What began with a handful of employees and a focus on copier sales and service has evolved into a multi-location organization with 250+ employees and decades of industry experience.
Today, Keith serves as Chairman, while his three daughters lead the company in executive roles, continuing the family-driven leadership that has shaped Systel from the beginning.
Even as we’ve grown, our foundation has stayed the same: dependable service, strong relationships, and doing right by the customer.
How We've Grown
While we started in copier sales and service, the needs of our customers have changed, and so have we.
Today, Systel delivers a full suite of business technology solutions, including:
- Managed print and copier services
- IT and cybersecurity solutions
- Unified communications and business phone systems
- Document management and workflow automation
- Production print and wide-format solutions
What Drives Us
Growth has never changed our priorities. Customer service, responsiveness, and long-term partnerships remain at the core of everything we do.
We believe business technology should do one thing well: make your work easier. That mindset guides how we design solutions, support customers, and evolve with the industry.
