Kalamazoo or Reynolds & Reynolds

Reynolds & Reynolds celebrated 50 years in the IT business in February 2015. The company started out as Kalamazoo in 1895 making stationary, but when computers came along they moved with the times and are one of the biggest companies of it's kind.

In 1912, four brothers of the Impey family and their cousin, Oliver Moreland, became agents for the Kalamazoo Loose Leaf Ledger Company of the USA. They began manufacturing at their new premises built in the 'daffodil fields' between Tessall Lane and Mill Lane.

Kalamazoo Limited was formed in 1913 and Francis L. Impey was the Chairman. This postcard was published by the firm itself in a series titled The Factory amid the flowers', of which this was no. 5.

Kalamazoo began in 1896 when Oliver Moreland and Francis Impey formed a printing company. In 1904, Moreland saw a revolutionary new form of loose-leaf binder in Kalamazoo, Michigan, brought the idea back to the UK and named the company after the town. 

By the early 1960s, Kalamazoo expanded and formed a computer bureau handling customer accounts for Ford UK. Kalamazoo began developing its own software designed exclusively for the retail motor trade. Now called Kalamazoo-Reynolds & found on Bristol Road Sth. The guy selling the photo wants £35, lol
