ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL, ISSUED APRIL 10, 2017… Des Plaines Office Equipment (http://dpoe.com), the Chicago area’s leading provider of workflow solutions including managed print services, managed network services, and related technology since 1955, has been named a 2016-17 recipient of the Hyakuman Kai award from Sharp Document Solutions Company of America.

This award continues an annual tradition dating back to 1988. Des Plaines Office Equipment has won this award every year for the last 28 years.

“It’s great to recognized by Sharp as one of their select dealers again this year,” said Des Plaines Office Equipment President Chip Miceli. He added, “We work with Sharp to provide the Chicago and Northern Indiana region with world-class service, as well as the latest in technology and related services. The document generating industry is rapidly-changing, and having a partnership with Sharp helps us stay ahead of the changes is of tremendous value to our clients.”
