Pearson-Kelly Office Products

Company History

Byron Pearson and Mike Kelly formed Pearson-Kelly Office Products to provide a healthy mix of quality service and products, backed by two trusted industry veterans. Pearson-Kelly Office Products is southwest Missouri’s premier document solutions source, operating with over 50 years combined experience.

In January 2002, Byron Pearson and his wife Lisa formed and operated Pearson Office Products from their home office and garage. Byron had over 18 years experience in technical service and support, and Lisa had an accounting and administrative background with industry experience. After 6 months Pearson Office Products moved into a small office space and within one year acquired a former competitor and contracted with a major manufacturer for a full product line.

Mike Kelly became a partner in 2004 and added his 19 years of experience in sales and marketing. Company growth continued with expanded sales efforts and the 2005 purchase of a second competitor, creating the need for more office and warehouse space.

Pearson-Kelly Office Products was born and emerged as an industry leader helping area businesses find solutions to their document workflow. In 2008 Pearson-Kelly was honored as a “Top Five Finalist” for the Springfield Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year.
