Office Depot Buys Allied Office Products

Office Depot announced Friday it has acquired Allied Office Products, a $300-million office products and services company with a strong presence in the Northeast. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Clifton NJ-based Allied, the largest privately-held office products company in the U.S., sells office supplies, janitorial supplies, computer products, custom printing, managed print services, promotional items and office furniture.

“Allied’s strength in the Northeast will continue to broaden Office Depot’s presence in this important region, while their ability to meet the diverse needs of legal and medical customers will further our expansion in key vertical markets,” said Steve Odland, chairman and CEO of Office Depot.
