By Paul E. Kandarian GLOBE CORRESPONDENT Rockland-based Bay Copy is a second-generation medium-sized family business with about 30 employees, specializing in selling and leasing copiers and printers and the technology that goes with them. Owner Ray Belanger Jr. of Norwell is also a founding member of the national Select Dealer Group, and his company has won a variety of awards, including the US Chamber of Commerce’s Blue Chip Initiative Award. We talked to him for this story.
Q. How did Bay Copy start?
A. My father, Ray, started it in 1972. What’s interesting is that he worked for another copy company in administration, and usually people starting their own companies come from service and sales. He started in Abington and moved to Rockland around 1985. I worked here as a kid, in summer, part time, then went to college, got my master’s degree, and worked outside the business for a few years. I came back in 1982, so I’ve been here 34 years now. My dad retired 25 years ago.
