Systel Continues Carolina Typewriter Company’s Legacy of Customer Service

Two family-owned companies with a shared commitment to customer service, their employees, and community involvement have come together to continue serving businesses throughout Florence, SC and the Pee Dee region.

Systel Business Equipment is proud to celebrate the successful integration of Carolina Typewriter Company (CTC) customer relationships into the Systel organization, building on more than a century of combined experience serving businesses across the Carolinas.

Systel completed the acquisition of CTC in late 2025 and has since focused on preserving the personal relationships and local service that defined Carolina Typewriter Company for generations. This transition has been strengthened by the continued involvement of former President, Tommy Kelly, and longtime employee, Phanessa Sansbury, both of whom have helped maintain continuity for customers throughout the process.

Carolina Typewriter Company was built on relationships and taking care of customers. “When it came time to consider the future of the business, finding the right partner was important to me and my family. Systel shares many of the same values that have guided our company for decades, and I felt confident they would continue providing the level of service and support our customers deserve,” said Tommy Kelly.
