Staples acquires office supply company in Finland

Jul 2, 2010

Lindell currently serves businesses of all sizes through a delivery and retail network, offering a wide range of office products and industrial and school supplies.

Bo Nyman, the current CEO of Lindell, will continue to lead the organization. Previously, Staples had an alliance with Lindell to service global contract customers in Finland. Staples inherited the relationship when it acquired Corporate Express in 2008.

“Lindell is a perfect fit with our Nordics region,” said Mike Miles, Staples’ President and Chief Operating Officer. “We’ve worked together for two years and both companies share a passion for making it easy for our customers. Lindell is a great addition to the Staples family, and we look forward to working more closely with the team.”

Lindell has enjoyed 120 years of success in the Finnish market and has a state-of-the-art central warehouse, 7 own shops and 2 franchised throughout the country, experienced management, and a strong team of sales representatives.
