Solutions Company (ESSC) that eventually serviced all makes of printer and printer-related products. A very large warehouse for this business was built in Louisville, KY for this endeavor and much of the Waynesboro service operation moved there. Also, there were many country-specific corporations owned by Genicom across the globe. At its zenith, Genicom had $400 million in sales. The Bankruptcy Genicom Corporation Several attempts were made to buy/merge with others already in the field (such as Centronics, Texas Instruments, and Digital EquipmentCorporation's printer division), but these efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. On March 10, 2000, Genicom declared bankruptcy. On July 17, 2001, a group of venture capitalists, Sun Capital Corporation, bought (for $9.3 million) the printer division of the bankrupt company, and its name became Genicom LLC. It was then resold in 2003 and became fragmented. Genicom LP A very narrow portion of the printer line continued to be built under the name Genicom LP. Northrop-Grumman Information Technology took over the parts and service of Genicom printers existing in the field under the name Genicom, PLC, and it now operates as an on-line Customer Service Center in a portion of the Waynesboro Outlet Village. Talley-Genicom merger A merger of Tally and the residual Genicom was announced on August 3, 2003 under the name Tally-Genicom and this new company, with manufacturing at its Mexican affiliate or by manufacturing partners, is continuing the design and manufacturing support of dot-matrix and shuttle-matrix printers in a portion of the plant formerly occupied by General Electric. Corporate headquarters still resides at Chantilly, Virginia. Solutions Way Management Solutions Way Management, LLC, a subsidiary of Allied Realty, Co., as part of the 2001 Genicom bankruptcy settlement, purchased the former GE property for $750,000 and now operates it as an incubator for fledgling new businesses, providing manufacturing space, and offering support services as required by the newcomers. Pollution General Electric and GENICOM manufactured circuit boards on site using a plating and etching processes that generated waste solvents. These solvents and other wastes contributed to groundwater contamination. General Electric assumed environmental responsibility for the contamination and operates a pump-and-treat system.
