The company began as a $9 million stand-alone reprographics provider in Southern California in the late 1980s. It has grown to its present size and geographic coverage through the acquisition of more than 140 other companies. It remains the largest company of its kind in the U.S. with more than 2,400 employees.

==History==
The company began in 1988 as Micro Device, [[Trade name|dba]] "Ford Graphics", a $9 million, privately held Los Angeles-based reprographics company, acquired and managed by ARC's two founders, K. "Suri" Suriyakumar and S. "Mohan" Chandramohan. Following four acquisitions in California, the company was organized as "American Reprographics Company, L.L.C.", a California Limited Liability Corporation, in 1997. Acquired operations generally maintained their original brands in the marketplace to retain local recognition.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.e-arc.com/about-arc/history#.UW8mArUm3HQ|title=About Us - ARC Document Solutions|publisher=|access-date=2013-04-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130428095037/http://www.e-arc.com/about-arc/history#.UW8mArUm3HQ|archive-date=2013-04-28|url-status=dead}}</ref>{{Primary source inline|date=December 2018}}

Following additional acquisitions that expanded the company's geographical reach into major metropolitan markets in a majority of U.S. states, American Reprographics L.L.C. made its initial public offering in February 2005 and was subsequently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol "ARP."

Concurrent with the consolidation of its local brands in January 2010, the company's ticker symbol was changed to "ARC". The Delaware corporation name was formally changed to "ARC Document Solutions" in 2012.<ref>{{cite web |title=ARC Announces Corporate Name Change to ARC Document Solutions |url=http://ir.e-arc.com/investors/news-releases/Press-Release-Details/2013/ARC-Announces-Corporate-Name-Change-to-ARC-Document-Solutions/default.aspx |website=ir.e-arc.com |language=en-CA |date=December 27, 2013}}</ref>{{Primary source inline|date=December 2018}}
