BTA member Doing Better Business Inc. (DBB), headquartered in Altoona, Pennsylvania, has announced it has acquired Cooper Business Machines Inc. of Erie, Pennsylvania.

Bruce and Darlene Cooper started Cooper Business Machines in 1976 to provide the highest quality service to their customers and have enjoyed many great relationships.

"Bruce, Darlene and their team are a perfect fit for our DBB family," said Debra Dellaposta, president and CEO, DBB. "They have been so active in Erie — as members of the Kearsarge Rotary Club, sitting courtside at the Erie Bay Hawks, and now sponsors for both the Erie Otters and the Erie Seawolves. They truly embody all of our same core values."

"We are so excited to work with Debbie, Beth, Joe and the entire DBB family, and we know that this will elevate our offerings and customer service to our customers," said Bruce Cooper, who will be staying on to work with the sales team.

DBB completed three acquisitions in 2022 and is excited about its first acquisition of 2023.

"The ability to add and expand within our current footprint is very exciting," said Joseph Dellaposta, COO, DBB. "We already have some great customer relationships in Erie and are excited to welcome all the Cooper Business Machines' customers to our DBB family."
