Datamax of Texas is one of seven independent divisions of privately-owned, St. Louis-based firm Sumner Group. Founded in 1955 as A. B. Dick Products of St. Louis, the firm founded its presence as a leader in the mimeograph, offset press and provide arenas. Shortly thereafter, the firm expanded into the reprographics market with the introduction of electrostatic technology in 1960. By 1975 Sumner Group had founded its own leasing division, enabling the firm to supply convenience and flexibility through single-source financial services.
