Officemate International Corporation

What Officemate International Corporation does

Officemate International Corporation is a US-based manufacturer and brand of office and school supplies, founded in 1978 and headquartered in Edison, New Jersey. The company operates the Officemate® product line — a 477-SKU catalog spanning clipboards and form holders, desk organizers (including a bamboo eco-friendly line), staplers and staples, business card holders, magazine files, hanging folder frames, binder clips, tape dispensers, and storage solutions — with sub-brands including MagnetPlus (magnetic hooks) and Achieva (magazine files, erasers). Products are physical goods with no proprietary software, AI, or API integrations; the underlying technology is standard consumer-product manufacturing paired with a Shopify-powered e-commerce storefront.

The company makes money through direct-to-consumer and B2B sales of these physical supplies, primarily via Victor Technology's e-commerce platform (victortech.com), with free shipping on US orders over $69 and a corporate discount program for bulk purchasers. Its primary customer vertical is schools and educational institutions (including a school fundraising program), with secondary segments in offices/businesses and remote workers. The brand is positioned within Victor Technology's multi-brand portfolio alongside Victor calculators, Seat Sack, and Sharp Calculators, and is supported by a multi-channel marketing presence across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and X.

Operationally, the company is small (51-100 employees), serves only the US market, and relies on a minor product-supply partnership with 3M for adhesive hooks sold through the Officemate collection. Leadership disclosed is CEO John Ringlein. Revenue, funding, ownership structure, and detailed company history are not provided in the source material.
