About NER

Since 1971 NER has evolved from a ribbon manufacturer into a leading provider of imaging solutions, managed print solutions, data center management products, and best-practice data center services . Many companies only appeal to customers strictly through economic tactics. NER's approach is to offer unique value-add solutions that truly solve business issues and allow customers to develop and maintain stronger relationships with their end-users. Our approach has earned NER a loyal following with North America’s leading Resellers, Integrators, VARS and their Fortune 2000 end-user customers.

NER's philosophy is to detect future IT and Imaging industry trends, challenges, and cost cutting initiatives, and to profitably develop innovative solutions; this is as opposed to merely adapting to changes in the marketplace. As an innovator, NER changes not only what is offered to customers, but also changes the NER organization to position the company to meet the requirements necessary for any new offering. . Today NER can be described as an agile, high quality - low cost manufacturer, a Value-Added Distributor (VAD) and an IT Professional Services provider.

While NER still has roots in manufacturing, the company evolved into an expert in the complex Data Center environment. The Technology Solutions Division ranges from supplying server racks all the way to complete data center design and construction. Within that broad range, we offer best-of-breed products and solutions for access, monitoring, control and device management, Power Management, and Heat and Cooling Management. Our Data Center Health Check and assessment services lead to solutions for solving current problems while establishing benchmarks for capacity planning, growth considerations, and infrastructure power and cooling capacity.

The structured and complex business approach of the Technology Solutions Division has not been overlooked by the imaging side of the business. In addition to implementing successful domestic cost reduction initiatives for commodity toner and parts, NER has grown significantly in the area of supply chain management and offers global sourcing of parts and finished goods as well as manufacturing and sourcing consulting. In 2002, NER started Image1, a wholly owned subsidiary to address the printer parts and service side of the imaging industry. Image1 has rapidly emerged as an industry leader.

One of NER's best examples of innovation, growth, and drawing on core competencies is Print4™ Managed Print Services. Print4 integrates printer-related supplies, parts, national service, hardware, software, and financing into highly manageable programs for customers and end-users. NER was one of the first companies to successfully offer managed print in the marketplace. This accomplishment is a result of drawing expertise and resources from all NER divisions to develop this highly scalable, centralized solution. Our managed print programs drive simplicity, productivity, and lower total cost of ownership.

NER constantly looks for ways to improve what exists today while developing new solutions to address tomorrow's needs. By following the principles that have guided the company for over 37 years, NER will develop the highest quality, first-to-market products and services for our partners and their customers. We will continue to lead, innovate, and drive value.
