ESG Receives Prestigious Office Depot, Inc. ‘Integration Partner of the Year’ Award
DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–March 13, 2017–Execution Specialists Group (ESG) has been awarded the Office Depot, Inc. “Integration Partner of the Year” award in honor of its collaborative integration efforts in the merger between Office Depot and OfficeMax.
“Throughout three years of change, ESG remained a constant,” said Rick DiMaio, vice president of distribution for Office Depot, Inc. “We recognize that the synergy with ESG has been crucial to our smooth integration of Office Depot and OfficeMax. The talent and dedication of the teams working on the integration gave us confidence to deliver on our original promise to build a stronger, more efficient competitor positioned to meet the growing challenges of a rapidly changing industry.”

ESG has continued its support of Office Depot post-merger to assist in further strategic development with a specific focus on supply chain and sales deployment.
