BTA member dealership EO Johnson Business Technologies has acquired ShelDon Business Solutions, based in Duluth, Minnesota. The move extends EO Johnson's production print and business technology offerings further north and provides additional support for existing customers in northern Minnesota. The acquisition was finalized Aug. 31, 2022.

"With the acquisition of ShelDon Business Solutions, we are able to enlarge our EO Johnson footprint and expand our Canon partnership into the Duluth, Minnesota, area," said Mary Jo Johnson, owner and CEO, EO Johnson Business Technologies. "Our ability to leverage ShelDon's skilled sales and service teams will also provide enhanced support to our current northern Minnesota customers. There was a strong cultural alignment with ShelDon Business Solutions and we are excited to welcome them into the EO Johnson family."

Companies that rely on ShelDon Business Solutions for their Canon equipment needs will continue to receive the highest level of customer service and have access to the expanded range of products and services offered by EO Johnson.

"This is a great blending of two companies," said Dean Baltes, co-owner, ShelDon Business Solutions. "We are thrilled to be part of the EO Johnson family. With our Canon partnership and shared commitment to excellence, this was a great fit for both of us. I am also excited for my staff and the opportunities it brings for them to be part of a larger organization like EO Johnson that is also focused on providing the best business solutions for their customers."

ShelDon Print, Signs & Design, a full-service commercial print and copy center was not part of the acquisition and will remain a separate entity under the same ownership.
