Our Story

A Company on the move.

The concept of OBM was started in 1975 by Richard P. Nelson. OBM was built on the founding philosophies of selling excellent products, offering excellent service, having excellent compensation and marketing programs, being in a great location and that the excellent product was extremely progressive. These philosophies were carried out by Salvatore J. Spagnola as the President of OBM from 1986 and into the reorganized Nothing But Initials, Ltd. dba OBM in October of 2002.

The hallmark of OBM has always been our dedication to providing service and support that is unparalleled in our industry. OBM has built a solid reputation in developing long-term business partnerships while keeping up with cutting-edge technology and how it benefits our customers.

Spagnola’s vision as CEO and President of NBI, Ltd. dba OBM is the dedication to excellent service and reliability as evidenced in the revolutionary OBM Security Blanket, a complete, no-hassle guarantee.

Growing up and branching out.

Spagnola realized that by expanding the company’s footprint, more customers could enjoy the benefits of the OBM “Security Blanket,” a complete worry-free program with a no-hassle guarantee. He began to implement this plan, and OBM expanded to serve companies in Northern Ohio and Lower Michigan.

OBM cares about its customers.

Today, the company continues to grow in the Northern Ohio area due in part to its dedication to delivering innovative products. But at its core, OBM remains committed to delivering the best service in the industry, and to making each customer number one.

Looking to the future.

OBM offers our customers the latest office technology with a full line of Sharp electronics products and services. With over 35 years of industry experience, OBM’s team supports a customer base in Northern Ohio and Southeast Michigan from our local offices in the Cleveland and Toledo area.

Our pledge is to provide you, our customer, with the products you need to make your job easier and more productive, and to support you with service that is unequalled in the industry.
