“This is a great partnership, and POA offered the best path to ensure our culture, our benefits, and our compensation were the best for FOS employees,” said Vernon Fenton, founder and CEO of FOS. “Doug hired all of my employees and that’s so important because our customers know them really well, and they will be the ones to push POA forward.”

“We are happy to welcome Vernon and his team to the POA family,” said Doug Pitassi, president and CEO of Pacific Office Automation. “FOS has been on our radar for a long time because they fit the family-oriented, customer-centric culture we foster at POA.”
