The main product groups are: computer supplies and consumables, paper products, writing instruments, files, office equipment, cleaning supplies, and office furniture. Each member has a wide sales network covering the whole country. A large number of sales people are ready to serve both public and private sector. The purpose of OU is to support its members in their efforts to strengthen their market position in each country by combining the purchasing volumes. This is usually done by committing to the same suppliers and products, and in some cases, by marketing private brands. Just as important as purchasing is the cooperation in sales serving global customers and applying the same sales contracts in each country. Members are also bench-marking each other s best practices, learning from each other and improving their performance. 2 www.officeunion.com
