Staples Canada Acquires Two Office Retailers

Staples Canada is expanding its reach having acquired two Canadian office supplies retailers, giving the company an opportunity to expand its own brand product offerings as well as services.

Through its business-to-business division Staples Professional Inc, the company announced the acquisition of Denis Office Supplies and Furniture and Supreme Basics.

"We are pleased to partner with Denis and Supreme to bring together three exceptional Canadian brands to amplify the way we support businesses across the country," said David Boone, CEO, Staples Canada. "In working together, we will strengthen and grow our product and services offering, while continuing to provide the exceptional customer service that our brands are known for."

Founded in 1972, Denis Office Supplies and Furniture services business customers throughout Quebec and Atlantic Canada through its network of stores/showrooms and fulfillment centers. Supreme Basics services business customers in the Prairies and Ontario with specialty office supplies and educational products. 

Staples Canada said the acquisition of the two companies will allow them to “expand its product and service offering in print and marketing, technology, facilities and commercial furniture to Denis Office Supplies and Furniture and Supreme Basics customers.”

"This is a great opportunity for our teams to offer more products and services to our valued customers, while creating winning conditions for our employees that will continue to ensure their  success," said Jean-Guy Robillard, VP of Operations at Denis Office Supplies and Furniture, who now joins the Staples Canada leadership team. "Our customers will benefit from the additional support and resources that our combined resources will provide."
