American Business Center Inc., known as ABC, celebrated a huge milestone on Thursday.

For 40 years, ABC has worked to meet customers' needs in copying, printing, faxing, scanning and document archiving.

On Thursday, they took the day to celebrate this milestone with coffee and donuts.

"I can't believe it's been 40 years. it just seems like yesterday, we started up and out there working hard and doing what we needed to do and here we are 40 years later," said Rober Wagner, President and CEO.

Over the years, technology has changed and the way people do business also has changed.

ABC has had to learn how to adapt to stay successful and one primary way they did this was by putting the customer first.

When the company first started, it was more face-to-face business, but now as technology has developed over the years, especially due to last year, it's more online and email. This has led to faster service and, according to ABC, happier customers.

"It's incredible to be the founder of a company that has grown in the Tri-State Area for 40 years, and I recognize that we would not be where we are today without the support of great local businesses, our loyal customer base, Collaborative Business organizations Such as the Regional Chamber, BBB, one of our primary business partners, Ricoh Corporation and our dedicated staff of business professionals". "We have accomplished a lot as a company in our first 40 years, and we are proud to say that we did it right here in Youngstown, Ohio. We are looking forward to continued growth and prosperity over the next 40 years!" said Wagner.
