United Laser, a Florence-based managed print services company, plans to make the most of the office exodus with an expansion into the Greenville-Spartanburg market.

The company became a division of office technology provider Novatch Inc. with a December acquisition, according to a news release.

"The decision to expand in Greenville-Spartanburg was a logical step in our 2021 growth strategy," Chris Peebles, president and founder of United Laser, said in the news release. "Not only will it enhance our ability to service current customers locally but also fortify our nationwide model and the Novatech Managed Office vision."

Matt Poirier, vice president of business development of United Laser, will spearhead the move into the Upstate.

"I'm excited to see the impact our new expansion will provide the local market," Poirier said in the release. "It emphasizes our commitment to the local community and customer base. The new facility will also create new jobs for Greenville-Spartanburg, as we augment our team with talented tech-minded professionals from the area."

Novatech Inc., a core portfolio company of private investment firm Trivest Partners, provides a diverse suite of IT, security and printing services for businesses nationwide, according to the press release.

"The market and business community have shown overwhelming support and desire to see nationwide expansion of Novatech's Managed Office," Dan Cooper, CEO of Novatech, said in the release. "Since joining Novatech as CEO in 2019, we've infused the company with strong entrepreneurial talent. These entrepreneurs have helped fuel our growth and infuse fresh and exciting ideas to the company. This began with the acquisition of DynaSis in 2019 and Dave Moorman, its founder/president, and again with Chris Peebles and United Laser in late 2020. In 2021 we'll continue to look at additional acquisitions to augment our model and drive unmatched managed technology services for customers across the United States."
