PROFILE |
 |
Thanks to Asay Publishing, old business equipment and office machines never die -- they just change hands. The company has carved out a niche in issuing trade publications and books that help bring together potential buyers and sellers of devices such as computers, printers, scanners, fax machines, typewriters, and copiers. Among the company's publications are "Locator Magazine" with a circulation of about 27,000 and "International Edition Locator Magazine." It also offers blue books for office equipment listing current market values. After acquiring a business-to-business auction site for the office equipment industry in 2000, it operates seven Web sites. CEO Roger Asay founded the company in 1987.
