The James B. Schwab Co. was founded in 1951, and incorporated in 1952 by James B. Schwab and resided in Falconer NY. James Schwab's' background was of a service nature and his philosophy reflected those origins. He believed that service to the customer was the single most effective way to build and nurture his accounts. That tradition has carried on to the present. The fact that some of our customer base shares an over fifty-year history with the Schwab Co. is a testimonial to his vision. Originally built around the AB Dick dealership the company later acquired other office and printing product manufacturers such as Ricoh, and most recently Kyocera Mita. James Schwab Sr. had the foresight to add product lines to carry his customers and employees well into the future. The company expanded into Erie PA in late 1983 affording additional territories and growth opportunities. As time passed, the second generation came of age and in 1987 the brothers James Jr. and Dennis acquired the company. Using the same business ethics and concepts practiced by James Sr., the organization continues to flourish. We cannot always claim to be the least expensive, but we feel we are the most cost effective based on the quality and value of our products and services.
