What Office Partner does
Office Partner GmbH is a German online retailer of office technology, IT hardware, and office supplies, founded in 1997 and headquartered in Gescher with additional offices in Münster and a secondary warehouse in Osnabrück. The company operates a hybrid B2C/B2B e-commerce platform carrying roughly 70,000 SKUs across printers and consumables, monitors, projectors and displays, PCs, notebooks, PC components, server and network equipment, mobile devices, full Apple product lines, gaming products, toys, and general office supplies, sourced through authorized dealer relationships with 80+ manufacturers including Apple, HP, Dell, Canon, Samsung, Epson, Brother, Xerox, Kyocera, Lenovo, Microsoft, and HPE.
The business is anchored by a 9,000 m² central warehouse in Gescher plus 19,000 pallet positions in Osnabrück, supporting a 98% in-stock rate, 1-day express delivery on many items, and multi-carrier shipping (DHL, DPD, UPS, freight forwarders) across Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, France, and Spain. Distribution combines a self-service direct-to-consumer storefront with a dedicated B2B sales team organized by product category (Apple, meeting rooms, digital workplace, server/network/storage, digital signage, mobile devices), supported by E-Procurement catalog integration into corporate procurement systems and a managed print services offering.
Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales margin across the ~70,000-SKU assortment, complemented by B2B services (quotation, project handling, E-Procurement, managed print) and an emerging recurring-revenue stream via a partnership with topi that embeds monthly hardware rental financing at checkout. The company holds ISO 9001 and Trusted Shops certifications, is recognized as one of Germany's largest online shops for office technology, and reports €180 million in annual turnover with a workforce of approximately 180-200+ employees.
