The History of Yost
Founded in 1959 by Willis Yost, Yost Office Systems quickly established a reputation
as a reliable and responsive office equipment dealer. Willis stressed the importance
of integrity in every transaction and created an environment in which each employee
felt valued, treated with respect, recognized for excellence, and challenged to
grow personally and professionally. The result was a team of professionals committed
to Yost Office Systems; its clients, and the values that ensured their mutual
success.
In 1982 Willis Yost retired, but the Yost tradition of excellence was continued
by a partnership of key managers. Under their expertise the company expanded beyond
southeast Idaho into Utah and by 1995 operated 5 stores in 3 states.
In 1995, Yost Office Systems was acquired by Alco Standard, which later became
known as IKON Office Solutions. As Yost was integrated into their corporate structure,
key company functions such as billing, consumables distribution and service dispatching
were moved to regional centers.
In 1999, several former Yost employees decided that they wanted to return to
the customer oriented approach that had been so successful for over 40 years,
so they licensed the Yost name from Willis’s family and reopened Yost Business
Systems. The ultimate validation of our commitment to put the customer first has
been the steady migration of former clients back to Yost Business Systems.
We are proud of our reputation of providing excellent customer service and support.
Continuing the tradition of national recognition for excellence, Yost Business
Systems was awarded “Office Dealer Elite Award” for 2001, 2003, 2004 and has been
recognized by Gestetner and Kyocera as one of their top dealers. Yost has stores
in Idaho Falls, Pocatello and Jackson, Wyoming and sells and services equipment
all over Eastern Idaho.
We offer leading edge technologies implemented in proven solutions from Gestetner,
Kyocera, Hewlett-Packard, and Xerox.
