Capital Office Products: Your hub for information technology 20-plus years of serving Midlands businesses with a local touch

apital Office Products, Inc. was established on April 1, 1997. Our mission was simple: To build relationships with our customers, to exceed their expectations for quality products and service with competitive pricing on a consistent basis. Capital’s founder, Bill MacDonald, started in the industry over 30 years ago. Back then, copiers ran on liquid toner and salespeople wore horrible knit ties and white shirts. The hardest part of the job was keeping clean and fixing paper jams. Today the industry has evolved. We now are the hub of your information technology. Your “copier” is the main vehicle you use to communicate documents to the world. Your current equipment can now process documents to your software, the cloud or even print it. Our role has evolved to an office automation consultant. Capital is an authorized dealer for Canon and Copystar (Kyocera). After a rigorous process of certification in sales and service, we were deemed qualified to sell their equipment line. This sets us apart from our competition. As a dealer, we work directly with the manufacturer to be able to compete with any national company and deliver the highest quality service with a local touch. Fast forward to today. Bill’s daughter, Ashley Whisonant, is the General Manager. She takes the founded, established principles and adds the perspective of the next generation. Ashley wants to continue growing Capital and works on new ways to meet the needs of the customers. Her favorite quote is, “Just take care of the customer, then we can figure the rest out.” When you call our office, you will always talk to a local person who cares. Now that the world has changed, rely on a company with the old-school values that can navigate the digital world. You need an expert to match your budget, needs and office environment to the right equipment. Capital Office Products has been doing this for over 20 years, and every year the industry evolves with the innovation of new technology. We are local and here to stay. We are the experts because we love copiers and what they do. 1667 Lake Murray Blvd., Columbia, SC 29212 | 803-407-4321
