What Services Does Styers Equipment Company Provide Beyond Selling Equipment?

Styers Equipment Company is not only a buyer and seller of new and used printing press equipment — it also offers a set of support services for companies that own or acquire presses. According to the company's own site, those services include service requests, equipment listing, financing and leasing, upgrades and retrofits, mergers and acquisitions, and supply ordering. If you are evaluating Styers as a vendor, these services matter as much as the equipment itself, because they determine what happens after the press is installed.

Service Request

Styers provides a Service Request channel for equipment support. The site lists it as a top-level service alongside the equipment catalog, which suggests it is meant for existing press owners as well as buyers.

• What it is for: requesting service on printing and converting equipment.
• How to start: use the Service Request link in the site navigation, or call the company directly at 913-681-5225.
• What to have ready: the machine's stock number if it came from Styers, plus the press make, model, and a clear description of the issue. The site's equipment listings use stock numbers (for example, Stock # 7209 for a Mark Andy Digital Pro3), so referencing that number helps identify the exact machine.

List Your Equipment

If you have a press to sell rather than buy, Styers offers a List Your Equipment service. This is the company's consignment or brokerage path for used machinery.

• Who it is for: printers and converters with surplus or retiring press equipment.
• What to prepare: machine make, model, year, width, number of colors, condition notes, and photos. The site's own listings follow this pattern — for example, "2018 MARK ANDY P7 DIGITAL PRESS, Stock # 7041, 13 INCH, 10 COLOR."
• Why it matters: listing through an established dealer puts your equipment in front of buyers already shopping the new and used press market, instead of relying on a general classifieds listing.

Financing & Leasing

Styers lists Financing & Leasing as a service. This is relevant because printing presses — especially digital and hybrid models — are capital equipment with significant upfront cost.

• What it covers: arranging financing or lease terms for equipment purchases.
• When to ask: before you commit to a specific machine, so the payment structure can be matched to the press you are considering.
• What to confirm with Styers directly: rates, terms, down payment requirements, and whether leasing applies to both new and used equipment. The site does not publish these details, so they need to be confirmed in a conversation.

Upgrades & Retrofits

Upgrades & Retrofits is a distinct service, and the site highlights "Digital Retrofit" as a featured action. This is aimed at shops that want more capability from equipment they already own rather than replacing it.

• Typical scenario: adding digital printing capability to an existing flexo line, or modernizing controls and accessories on a press already in production.
• Why consider it: a retrofit can extend the working life of a press you have already paid for, which is often a smaller commitment than a full replacement.
• What to ask: which press models are eligible, what the retrofit includes, expected downtime, and whether the work is done on-site.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Styers also lists Mergers & Acquisitions assistance. This goes beyond single-machine transactions into helping printing businesses buy, sell, or combine operations.

• Who it is for: owners considering selling a print business, or companies looking to acquire capacity or a competitor.
• How it connects to equipment: in printing, a business acquisition usually includes the press line, so equipment valuation and transfer are part of the same conversation.
• What to clarify early: scope of the engagement, confidentiality, and whether Styers acts as advisor, broker, or both.

Supply Order

Supply Order covers consumables and press supplies. This is the day-to-day service that keeps a press running between major purchases.

• What it is for: ordering supplies associated with the equipment Styers sells and services.
• How to use it: through the Supply Order link on the site, or by contacting the company at 913-681-5225 or by email.
• Practical tip: if you buy a press through Styers, ask which supplies are specific to that model so you can set up a repeatable ordering routine.

How These Services Fit Together

What to Confirm Before You Commit

The site establishes that these services exist, but it does not publish pricing, turnaround times, or eligibility rules. Before relying on any of them, confirm:

1. Whether the service applies to your specific press — especially for retrofits, where model compatibility varies.
2. Cost and terms — financing rates, service call pricing, and retrofit quotes are not listed on the site.
3. Whether you need an account — the site shows a "Log In" option, so some functions may require registration. Do not assume anything is available without login.
4. Geography — Styers is based in Overland Park, Kansas (8301 West 125th Street), and has served customers since 1983. Ask whether on-site service and retrofits are available in your area.

The fastest way to get answers on any of these is to call 913-681-5225 or use the contact options on styersequipment.com, since the site itself provides the service categories but not the terms behind them.
