How it started
History
The company began in 1988 as Micro Device, dba "Ford Graphics", a $9 million, privately held Los Angeles-based reprographics company, acquired and managed by ARC's two founders, K. "Suri" Suriyakumar and S. "Mohan" Chandramohan. Following four acquisitions in California, the company was organized as "American Reprographics Company, L.L.C.", a California Limited Liability Corporation, in 1997. Acquired operations generally maintained their original brands in the marketplace to retain local recognition.
Following additional acquisitions that expanded the company's geographical reach into major metropolitan markets in a majority of U.S. states, American Reprographics L.L.C. made its initial public offering in February 2005 and was subsequently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol "ARP."
Concurrent with the consolidation of its local brands in January 2010, the company's ticker symbol was changed to "ARC". The Delaware corporation name was formally changed to "ARC Document Solutions" in 2012.
ARC has received recognition from Forbes magazine (as one of its "Best 200 Small Companies"), Gartner, MPSA, BERTL, and Océ. In Fiscal 2017, the company's revenue was $406 million.
On November 22, 2024, TechPrint Holdings, LLC completed its acquisition of ARC, and ARC became a wholly owned subsidiary of TechPrint Holdings. Following completion of the TechPrint Holdings merger, NYSE trading of ARC common stock was suspended before the opening of trading on November 22, 2024, and ARC requested delisting and deregistration of its common stock.
