United Stationers becomes Essendant

United Stationers Inc. will officially bring together several of its primary operating companies under the name "Essendant" on June 1.


The company will begin trading under the new stock ticker symbol ESND. 

"By uniting our brands as Essendant, we provide the exceptional products and services that enable our partners to succeed, while also increasing the convenience and efficiency for our customers," said Bob Aiken, interim president and chief executive officer.

United Stationers Supply Co., Azerty, LagasseSweet and ORS Nasco will come together under the Essendant brand starting in June, while MEDCO will follow shortly thereafter.
The unified brands offer next-day delivery to more than 90 percent of the U.S. and provide more than 160,000 stocked products.

"All of these companies are leaders in their industries. And now, together, we have a stronger solution with access to more products, more capabilities and more support," said Aiken.

"Essendant goes beyond essentials to deliver what our resellers need," said Diane Hund, vice president of marketing for Essendant. "We are no longer just a wholesaler. In addition to a broader portfolio of products, Essendant also provides digital content and capabilities, product and category expertise and marketing support."
