In 1955, Robert J. Young, Sr. and four employees, opened the doors of his new Ditto duplicating dealership. Twelve successful years later, the Robert J. Young Company became a photocopier dealer. In 1973, the company relocated its headquarters and opened a nearby distribution center, referred to as Sidco. Beginning in 1977, the company added the Ricoh, Canon, HP, Muratec and Océ product lines to its fleet.

Robert J. Young Sr. retired in 1986 after selling controlling interest in the company to John T. Crunk, who had started with the company in 1958. In 1996, Mr. Crunk became Chairman of the Board and his son, Chip Crunk, became President and Chief Executive Officer, thus continuing the tradition of the company being a family owned and operated business.

In 1999 the Robert J. Young Company was lrechristened the RJ Young Company, the name now recognized as the largest, best quality office equipment dealer in the Southeast. We stand apart from the competition by backing every product and service we offer with our “We Make It Right” 100% guarantee.

Our accomplishments include being selected as one of the 50 Best Office Equipment Dealers in the United States by the industry magazine Office Dealer and seeing our service department win every major award offered in the industry.

Our contributions to local schools, churches, charities and non-profit organizations are central to our mission statement, which includes the goal for company employees “to give back to their community from which they have prospered.”
