Robbie Siemon
President and CEO
Robbie Siemon is a 3rd-generation owner of Halsey & Griffith whose family has been involved with the operation of the company since the late 1920’s. A true Florida native, Robbie was born and raised in West Palm Beach. After graduating from Florida State University, Robbie went to work for Halsey & Griffith where he learned the most important business lesson from his Father and Grandfather – fostering personal employee relationships.
For years, Robbie watched as the Halsey & Griffith business owners worked side by side with the employees, never asking any employee to perform a task they were not willing to do themselves. It is a business philosophy Robbie maintains to this day, and one that he attributes much of the company’s success and staying power to.
Robbie’s interest in technology motivated him to purchase a small Ricoh fax dealerin the late 1980′s. This decision proved crucial to Halsey & Griffith’s existence. The fax division soon grew into a copier division and allowed Halsey & Griffith to survive Chapter 11.
Investing heavily in technology and training for Halsey & Griffith’s staff continues to be Robbie’s strategy for business longevity. He believes current threats to the copier industry – and to the economy as a whole – such as consolidation of businesses, can be best met with providing superior expertise and customer service. He says, “We have to be able to adapt to new products and services to thrive in the future. The key is training our employees, giving them the resources to succeed, utilizing technology to keep our overhead low, and the owners staying involved in the business on a daily basis.”
