Imaging Path's Story

In 1997, Corey Tansom, President & CEO of Imaging Path, purchased a small company called Twin City Photocopy (TCP). He started with only 3 employees, 16 service contracts, and an annual revenue of $230,000. Corey concentrated on selling Canon "C" series copiers, Panasonic, and refurbished equipment.

"For the first 2 years of the company,
I would load my Aerostar van with
copiers and fax machines and drive
around to accounts all day and show
clients the machines in my van."
-Corey Tansom

In 2001, Corey's vision of the company changed, as did the name. Today
it is known as Imaging Path. He later opened three additional locations:
St. Cloud, Duluth, and Faribault. Imaging Path now provides the leading products in the industry with Canon and Lanier. Understanding that there are more ways to process information in a business, Imaging Path has added software solutions to solve business process problems.

We remain one of the select few locally owned independent dealerships in the Twin Cities that provides Canon, Lanier, Lexmark and Samsung. Imaging Path is now an 20+ million dollar company with 80+ employees.

Imaging Path continues to move in the right direction. We were named One of Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in America in 2008 and again in 2009. Our dedication to service, our belief in keeping it local, and the knowledge & expertise we have on our products, have helped us and continue to help us successfully grow.

We back our success on:

Reliable Service
A revolutionary approach to copier maintenance—theTotal Call Quality Assurance Program. This service program is designed to fix the equipment right the first time. Every time our tech is at your office we will do a thorough check on your machine. This results in maximizing your productivity and will increase your efficiency. Our program was designed to be proactive and replace parts and take care of the equipment problems before they actually occur, thus reducing the number of service calls and minimizing our clients' downtime.
