By investing in undervalued technology companies, we believe we can generate strong returns for our shareholders while providing liquidity for the companies’ prior owners.
Over the last 20 years, persisting through good times and bad, we have built a management team that has the experience to grow businesses, make tough choices, restructure operations when necessary, and increase shareholder value. We understand the dangers of excessive leverage, and we have worked through distressed conditions before. We are actively seeking companies that need a management overhaul or a quick turnaround.

Employing the strategies mastered in the creation of KruseCom, QSGI’s management team has gone on to develop other business units to address specific niche markets. These additional business units include wholly owned subsidiaries like Cheap Refurbished Computers and Joe’s Scrap, and also involve business partnerships or joint ventures like QSGI’s relationship with 1-877-Luv-Junk.

CEO Marc Sherman’s lifelong career has shaped the existing staff and knowledge base. Marc began in the family scrap metal business. Once he started reclaiming precious metals from mainframe computers, he found that he was left with surplus computer parts, and the parts business was born. Since most corporate computers are leased, that led him into the leasing business and the subsequent remarketing of off-lease computers. As he continued to build connections in the information technology world, Marc began recruiting talented professionals he met along the way. His career has involved both public and privately held companies; small companies and large companies with up to 800 employees.
