Humble Beginnings

FSIoffice began as a prayer in 1951. After accepting Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, founder Jimmy Godwin asked God for two specific things: a Christian wife and a good job. In October, 1960 he married Diane Griffin, who shared his faith and ambitions then and continues to do so after over 61 years of marriage. After working in the office supply industry for five years, Jimmy ventured out on his own in 1962 and founded Forms & Supply, Inc. During the past 59 years, FSIoffice has served the Southeast and grown from a mom and pop operation to one of the largest independent office supply dealers in the United States with more than 250 employees.

Our Neighborhood To Yours

Since the very start, FSIoffice has worked with our local neighbors in Charlotte, NC area, and the greater Southeast region. With service as our priority, FSIoffice went from a local mom and pop operation to a thriving company with over 250 employees and global reach.

Family Owned

As FSIoffice expanded and grew to be one of the leading independent office supply dealers in the United States, it has stayed within Godwin Family. Three generations have carried the torch so far, so you can be sure that your company will benefit from the history of that service lineage.
