For over 70 years, Yoas Services has been committed to providing exceptional, old-fashioned service and only the highest quality products to our loyal & valued customers. Family owned and operated to this day, our company was founded by William and Eleanor Yoas in 1949 and began as Yoas Platemaking Service, offering photographic plate services. In fact, tucked away in the second floor of our Willi
amsport store, you'll still find the old Brown camera once used for photographic enlargements, and it's the second largest in the state. If you remember the old "accordian" lens cameras of days past, try to picture one as big as a golf cart! In the 1960s, sons David and Karl were overseeing the business in Williamsport, and found their niche in offering blueprinting services and selling drafting and engineering supplies and surveying instruments. As the business grew, the map department was added to offer the USGS topographic maps that were often requested by surveyors and, more increasingly, by our outdoor sporting customers. In 1985, our satellite store in continually-growing Reading, PA was opened to service the needs of architects, engineers and contractors in the Reading, Hamburg, Lebanon and Lancaster regions. During 1996, David's sons Bob and John took the helm, and have continued to build upon what their grandparents began over 60 years ago ... expanding the reprographics department to include high-speed, digital document copying and color plotting/printing, as well as adding outdoor sport products like GPS systems and map software to complement our map department. We continue to take pride in and maintain our old-fashioned service values, while keeping ourselves on the cutting edge of today's technology in our products and equipment. One goal has remained since our founding ... to provide exceptional customer service and only the highest quality products. We have proudly served our customers and communities since 1949, and we look forward to serving your needs for many more years to come.
