About Brown Mannschreck Imaging Solutions

Brown Mannschreck Imaging Solutions was originally founded in 1979 by Brown Transfer & Storage Company, a well known and respected business in the St. Joseph area for over 100 years. Brown Mannschreck became authorized to sell and service Sharp copiers in 1981 and facsimile products were introduced a few years later. For years the business was located downtown on South 6th Street in the old Brown Transfer & Storage Building.

The business was purchased by a new owner in 1996 and was relocated to within the Mitchell Woods Business Park. During the time period from 1996 to 2001, the business sold and serviced Sharp copiers and facsimiles, Riso Duplicators, Hewlett Packard printers, and Ascom Hasler mailing systems. Then, in 2001, the business was sold and switched manufactures.

Today, Sharp copiers and printers are sold once again in St. Joseph, this time by the Brown Mannschreck Imaging Solutions team. In 2003 Steve Pitluck as President, Steve Halter as Sales Division Manager, and Kevin Krambeer as Service Division Manager re-formed the original Brown Mannschreck and brought the Sharp dealership back to the St. Joseph area. Mr. Pitluck has an extensive background in all aspects of business having been the President of Brown Companies for more than 20 years. Mr. Halter has 10 years experience in the Office Equipment business, having managed the Brown Business Systems Sales Division. Mr. Krambeer has been with Brown Mannschreck Business Systems and Brown Business Systems since 1988, staying with the local Sharp dealership through several ownership changes and acting as Service Manager since 1992.

Brown Mannschreck Imaging Solutions employs approximately 6 people in sales, service and administration. A great deal of pride is obtained in recruiting and hiring only the most professional people. Brown Mannschreck Imaging Solutions can only continue to grow and prosper with the best people, because without the best people, the best product is of no value.
