Stargel Office Solutions has been named to the Houston Business Journal’s “Best Family-Owned Businesses of 2024” list.
The list of winners was announced in an April 24 edition of the Houston Business Journal, with Editor-in-Chief Sean McCrory writing, “Besides being financially successful, the companies were chosen by HBJ staff and nominated by members of the Houston business community as champions of community investment.” To qualify, companies need to have at least 51% family ownership with multiple generations of family involved in the operations of the company. Honorees will be recognized at an in-person event on June 20 at the Marriott Marquis Houston, and they will be featured in a special section in the June 21 weekly edition of the Houston Business Journal.
Stargel Office Solutions was named to a similar list in 2022 by the Houston Business Journal, “Area’s Largest Family-Owned Businesses” and has been previously listed in their “Area’s Largest Office Equipment Dealers” list.
Stargel Office Solutions has been a part of the Houston community since 1987, when Jack Stargel, the company’s chief executive officer, launched the firm. Today, three family members comprise the leadership team, including brothers Tyson Stargel and Slade Stargel, who serve as co-presidents. The two brothers have both worked at the company for over 20 years. Tyson Stargel commented, “ We often say that we have worked at Stargel for most of our lives because as soon as he could, our father had us working for the company on weekends and summers.”
He continued, “We are very pleased to be included in the Houston Business Journal’s list. We are proud of our commitment to the Houston business community and the larger community in general. We are also grateful for all the efforts of the Houston Business Journal to provide extensive business coverage for our region. We extend congratulations to the other businesses who have also earned a place on this list.”
Slade Stargel, co-president, added, “We have grown up in a family business and have worked to cultivate a true family atmosphere throughout the company. We work with a great team of people who are second to none. We thank our employees, our clients, our vendors and the community for their continued loyalty and support.”
Stargel Office Solutions further expanded its reach with the September 2023 acquisition of Round Rock Copier, an office equipment company located in suburban Austin, TX, and serving the Greater Austin area.
