Sourcebook Features New Items With an Easier to Use Format
BROOMFIELD, Colo., Feb. 20 /-- Corporate Express, Inc., a Buhrmann company (NYSE:BUH), announced today the release of their 2007 Office Products Solutions Sourcebook. The company's 2007 Sourcebook includes more than 12,500 office products and solutions, as well as added features to enhance customers' ordering experience.
Corporate Express is one of the world's largest business-to-business suppliers of essential office, facilities and computer products and services, with 2005 sales of approximately $4.6 billion in North America.
The 2007 Corporate Express Sourcebook features 2,200 new products, while retaining a wide variety of furniture, facility supply, healthcare and school supply products, enabling customers to review and purchase several lines of business from one easy to use catalog. In addition, Corporate Express significantly expanded its Corporate Express Brands product offering to over 2,300 items to meet business needs. Corporate Express' Branded product line provides high quality products, great prices, nationwide availability and broad product selection on critical, high-volume items. Furthermore, the Sourcebook includes several tools to help make choosing office supplies more efficient -- from new easy-to-identify product logos to detailed indexes for simple searching.
"The Sourcebook is still our number one selling tool, and its launch is a significant event in our business that our customers look forward to receiving," said Gary Gonsalves, Senior Vice President, Office Product Sales. "Even though most customers place orders through E-Way, Corporate Express' proprietary internet ordering system, they still enjoy the tangible shopping experience of flipping through the Sourcebook."
The 2007 Sourcebook is printed on 30% post consumer recycled paper and features more than 3,000 environmentally friendly products designated by the Ecoffice logo, such as 100% compostable, corn-based products, including cups and lids. Corporate Express is proud to be the only major office products supplier to make these items easy to find in their main catalog and online.
Corporate Express' 2007 Sourcebook contains:
o More than 12,500 products
o Over 1,000 pages of product information
o Nearly 2,300 Corporate Express items
o Easy-to-identify logos for products from special categories like

them the best quality at a competitive price

special 2 - 4 page spread on Furniture, Paper and School supplies
In addition to hard copy, items from the new Sourcebook are available through E-Way®, the Company's Internet ordering site.
