Who is FriendsOffice?

Our Mission Statement:

Placing the needs of the people we serve before the products we provide in order to obtain mutual success.

One Source For All Your Supply Needs

FriendsOffice is one of Ohio’s largest independently owned office supply dealers. For over 25 years, FriendsOffice has been the go-to source for companies and school districts throughout Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Indiana.

FriendsOffice specializes in providing:

  • Office Supplies
  • Office Furniture & Interior Design Services
  • Janitorial Supplies and Safety Equipment
  • Coffee and Breakroom Supplies
  • Custom Print and Promotional Products
  • Company and Event Apparel
  • Copiers and Multi-Function Printers

In addition to FREE next-day delivery and industry-leading fill rates, customers can rely on us to assist in streamlining their supply needs through one purchase order and invoice across multiple departments. This results in a significant reduction of costs incurred by our customers.

Along with traditional office buildings, FriendsOffice also serves large hospitals, healthcare systems, school districts, universities, industrial plants, government buildings and more. While assisting in the uniqueness of every customer and their need for things like stocking programs, auto toner replenishment, and bulk ordering, FriendsOffice excels in delivering one-on-one customer attention.

The “Friends Effect” is a company culture and philosophy that garners positive interaction between employees and customers. Putting people before products is something that we feel sets us apart.

FriendsOffice offers the advantage of a national office supply network, as well as that of a local, independent business partner. This equates to the greatest possible selection, the lowest possible price, and a partner who offers responsive turnaround times and customized programs for our customers.

Simply put, FriendsOffice provides customized solutions to help our customers do what they do best: run their business. As a single-source leader in the industry, FriendsOffice truly has everything for people at work!
