The story of Visual Edge Technology isn't about a garage startup, but a calculated strategy of acquisition. In an interview, longtime CEO Austin Vanchieri, who holds a degree in physics, mentioned his early vision at Xerox to bundle office products beyond just copiers. This idea became the playbook for Visual Edge, a company built by acquiring smaller, independent office solutions and IT dealers across the United States. Instead of building from scratch, the company's significant growth came from a roll-up strategy, buying dozens of local providers and integrating them into a national network. This approach created a company with a broad footprint, offering everything from printers and copiers to managed IT and cybersecurity services. The core business is providing comprehensive tech support for small to mid-sized businesses, effectively acting as their outsourced IT department. In 2017, the company partnered with private equity firm Aries Capital, which fueled further acquisitions. However, the journey wasn't always smooth. By 2023, financial filings from its lender indicated significant financial challenges for the company. A major shift occurred in July 2025, when Austin Vanchieri transitioned from CEO to Executive Chair of the Board, and James Hwang was appointed as the new CEO. This leadership change signals a new chapter for Visual Edge, focusing on transforming into a more cohesive national technology provider and navigating its next phase of growth and operational refinement.
