US independent dealer group Office Partners has announced a new partnership aimed at increasing its members’ capabilities and reach in the contract furniture space.
The Alabama-based organization has entered into a “strategic agreement” with specialist group purchasing organization Consoll, a division of GCG Holdings.
Through the partnership, Consoll and Office Partners will collaborate to support over 600 dealer locations and provide access to 300 manufacturers.
Office Partners President Matthew Hebert said: “Partnering with Consoll takes our furniture offering to another level and strengthens our mission of supporting independent dealers with best-in-class solutions. Our dealers now have access to their programs, while their dealers have access to our programs. We’re still two separate organizations, but what we’re doing is giving dealers access to both worlds.”
Consoll, founded in 2018, has a membership that includes 82 commercial furniture-focused dealer locations and 131 office products-focused dealers as well as partnerships with 44 leading furniture manufacturing brands. Office Partners, meanwhile, represents over 600 dealer locations and partners with 300 manufacturers.
