Since 1945, FriendsOffice has grown from a small bookstore in Wapakoneta, Ohio into one of the region’s most trusted partners for businesses, schools, and nonprofits. Nearly 80 years later, the mission remains the same: to deliver everything people need at work, while focusing on relationships, service, and sustainability.
Local Roots, Expansive Reach
FriendsOffice is proud to be independently owned and headquartered in Ohio, with locations and customers across Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. While our reach is broad, our approach is local and personal. Customers never call a faceless call center. Instead, they have a dedicated account manager who knows their name, their business, and their goals.
Comprehensive Solutions in One Place
What sets FriendsOffice apart is the ability to provide everything for people at work. That means:
- Commercial-grade office furniture with full design and installation support
- Custom printing services from our in-house print shop in Defiance, Ohio
- Promotional products and branded apparel tailored to business goals
- Everyday supplies for offices, schools, and breakrooms
By consolidating these services under one trusted partner, customers streamline their procurement process, save time, and ensure brand consistency across everything from business cards to office layouts.
Supporting Brand Identity Through Print and Promo
Your brand is more than a logo. It is how people experience your organization every day. FriendsOffice helps clients express that identity with custom-printed stationery, signage, and promotional items that fit their mission, message, and budget. Whether you need branded folders for an upcoming trade show, spirit wear for your school, or year-end appreciation gifts, our print and promo teams ensure your materials reflect your organization’s professionalism and personality.
As one of our customers recently shared: “FriendsOffice just always seems to know the best way to start a big project. I was feeling a little overwhelmed, but I felt comfortable leaving the process in their hands. It turned out great.”
A Focus on Sustainability
Sustainability is woven into how FriendsOffice operates. From our new solar panel installation at the corporate warehouse to the eco-friendly products we recommend, the focus is always on solutions that support both people and the planet. For customers, that means procurement options that are not only functional and cost-effective but also environmentally responsible.
Why Service Still Matters
In today’s world of one-click ordering, convenience often comes at the cost of wasted time, damaged products, and unanswered questions. That is not how FriendsOffice operates. We believe service is just as important as the products themselves. From clear communication to on-time delivery, the goal is always to make the process simple, reliable, and stress-free.
Timely Support: Holiday Planning
This time of year, many organizations are preparing for the holidays. FriendsOffice helps clients plan and execute seasonal initiatives, including:
- Holiday cards that reflect your brand and message
- Thoughtful gifts for employees, customers, or donors
- End-of-year promotional items that leave a lasting impression
With FriendsOffice, you can trust that every card, gift, or branded item will align with your goals and budget while arriving on time.
Conclusion
FriendsOffice is more than a supplier. We are a partner who helps organizations get the most out of their spaces, their budgets, and their brand. With decades of experience, in-house capabilities, and a focus on relationships, we make sure every detail is covered—so you can focus on what you do best.
