The Blue Standard
The Blue Standard is our legacy. It’s about:
- Accountability: We hold each other to the highest standard and take ownership of our role in delivering excellence.
- Relationships: We build connections that last and treat everyone with respect, integrity, and care.
- Community: How we care for each other extends to our customers and the community we serve.
The Blue Standard isn’t something we accidentally uphold; it requires an intentional commitment to a culture that isn’t satisfied with meeting customer expectations-it’s only satisfied with exceeding them every time . It’s why we vacuum underneath the printer when we install it and leave your office cleaner than it was when we arrived. It’s why we strive to be remembered not for the transactions we make, but for the relationships we build. It’s why we have an impact beyond excellence in the communities we serve.
Our History
In 1981, Art Sinkey and Bill decided to start a small copy machine company in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. They named it “A&B” after themselves and built a reputation of sound business practices, exceptional products, and honest prices. In 1993, Dennis Aanenson—who had spent the previous 9 years honing his sales skills and knowledge of the office equipment industry—bought the company with a vision of growth.
And that vision has come true. Over the years, A&B has expanded its services and products, opened sixteen offices in five different states, and grown from 3 employees to over 150.
Our Credentials
Our awards show that A&B is the highest level of elite among business solutions in South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Wyoming. A&B is committed to exceeding excellence and works to train and certify our team members.

Our Community Involvement
Part of our Blue Standard is to give back and make an impact beyond excellence. We serve communities with our innovative solutions, but we know that isn’t the only way to help those around us. So every year, A&B aims to donate 1,250 hours of service. And every year, A&B has surpassed that goal.
