The BPCA is a peer group of office equipment and document solutions dealers dedicated to enhancing the industry and improving each other's businesses.

Our mission is: "to facilitiate the exchange of ideas, benchmarking, knowledge and business strategies that will allow us to improve our individual businesses year-after-year, through active and involved members."

A Tradition of Excellence 

In 1963, a group of approximately 25 independently-owned 3M Company copier and micrographics dealers throughout the United States decided to collectively have a meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah to discuss 3M Company’s first dealer contract. During that meeting of Dealer Owners, the Business Products Council Association was formed. Although the original objective was to deal with contractual terms, they immediately expanded into an organization where the various dealers were calling each other to discuss common business issues. Eventually, a second annual meeting was developed to train managers and allow them to participate in a best practices meeting.

Today, BPCA continues as an exclusive office equipment dealer association that provides a variety of benefits to the members. Because the members share innovative programs, as well as dealer financial information, there is only one dealership allowed to join from each geographic area.  To view a map of the open territories, please see the map on the Open Territories page. 

Territories are open and we're looking for progressive dealers who want to join our organization.
