Now in their 22nd year, the European Office Products Awards (EOPA 2023) continue to recognise the most exceptional products, companies and people in the business and workplace supplies industry.

PBS Holding won the Wholesaler of the Year 2023 award and was commended by the EOPA judging panel for doing an outstanding job in a channel that has been hugely challenged in recent years. “PBS Holding has a clear focus on sustainability and services and its acquisition strategy in recent years has helped it become the leading business supplies wholesaler in Central and Eastern Europe.“ (EOPA Jury)

Richard Scharmann, CEO of the pbs group, was presented with the Wholesaler of the Year award on 13 March 2023 during the annual OPI partnership in Amsterdam.

“Our joint successful efforts as pbs group get recognized. This award is yours – all employees of the pbs group. Many thanks and congratulation to all of you“, with these words the CEO of the pbs group announced the award to all employees of the pbs group on the same evening as the award cereomony.

This is the second time that PBS Holding has been named Wholesaler of the Year.
