Office Resources, Inc. Acquires Office Logix
Acquisition Expands New England Presence for Distributor of High-End
Office Furniture
CHICAGO, Ill.-September,
2003: Prospect Partners, LLC is proud to announce the acquisition
of Office Logix of Manchester, New Hampshire, by Office Resources,
Inc., of Boston, Massachusetts. Office Logix's name will be changed
to Office Resources New Hampshire.
Office Resources is a
leading distributor of Knoll office products in New England.
Office Logix, New Hampshire's
exclusive dealer of Knoll office furniture since 1998, "provides
a great opportunity to improve our market penetration," says
Paul Fraser, CEO of Office Resources. "We're looking at acquisition
opportunities in metropolitan and secondary markets that give us
an even stronger foothold in New England."
In line with its expansion
goals, Office Resources in early 1993 opened an office in Hartford,
Connecticut. "During a difficult year, when many industry players
have been consolidating, we've opened two new locations with strong
support of the manufacturer," Fraser says.
Office Resources is a
unit of Office Resources Holding Company, a company formed by Prospect
Partners in 1999 with CMS companies and current Office Resources
management.
Prospect Partners, LLC
of Chicago is a $105 million private equity fund focused on management-led
leveraged acquisitions of lower middle market businesses with niche
strategies.
