Forward TS is a family-owned technology company with deep roots in Southeastern Wisconsin. Originally founded in 1974 as Office Copying Equipment, Ltd. by Tom Sett and John Sells, the company quickly made its mark by becoming Wisconsin’s first authorized Sharp copier dealer in 1975. Decades of exceptional service and customer loyalty led to continued growth, including the construction of a dedicated facility in West Allis in 1998.

Following the passing of founder Tom Sett in 2020, leadership transitioned to his son, Timothy Sett, an experienced IT professional who had been with the company since 1993. In 2021, he acquired the business and rebranded it as Forward TS, ushering in a broader focus on IT products and services. Today, Forward TS honors its legacy of customer-first service while helping businesses thrive through modern technology solutions.
