MADISON, Wis., July 6, 2016 – Canon U.S.A.’s Chairman and CEO Joe Adachi presented Gordon

Flesch Company (GFC) CEO Tom Flesch with a special award recognizing GFC’s 60th anniversary.

In order to qualify, the dealer must provide high quality products with the highest quality service and business practices.

“We are grateful to Canon for presenting us with this award commemorating our 60 years of service,” said Mr. Flesch. “GFC is proud to be a top dealer for Canon, providing our customers with the highest quality products in business technology.”

“With this award, we recognize GFC’s many accomplishments throughout the years, including their 60 years of service, which is an accomplishment in and of itself,” said Mr. Adachi.
