In 1974, Ron and Carmen Lovsey founded Modern Paper Co primarily selling paper for Electrostatic copy machines. In 1983,, they hired Shawn Stearns to service their new line of Mita brand copiers. As Modern Paper started to expand, Shawn created the sales, service and parts departments with the addition of several new employees which now boasts a total of 11 employees. In 1997 Ron and Carmen decided to retire and leave the daily operation to Shawn. Since then, they have changed the name to Modern Copier, Inc and have added several manufacturers' equipment lines. They are very proud of the Kyocera copier and printer line which has the lowest cost per copy in the industry. Today Modern Copier Inc is still locally owned by Shawn, Ron, and Carmen. Many changes have been made since 1974. They purchased the IL operations of Data Business and MC Electronics, a local cash register company. Along with the cash registers, Modern Copier began selling office furniture which truly made them the one stop shop for businesses. Celebrating 34 years in business, the staff and management Modern Copier, Inc are proud to serve the Southern Illinois business community. While looking back in history, they take immense pride in the fact that hundreds of customers who were with them in the early years are still customers today. It is these relationships that they believe help define a company as a market leader, and they are grateful for the continued support. They hope to celebrate their next 34 years by continuing to provide the products, value and service that Southern Illinois needs.
