After 85 years of business, Haskell New York Inc. continues to be a force in the office supplies business.
(prHWY.com) January 29, 2013 - San, CA -- After 85 years of business, Haskell New York Inc. continues to be a force in the office supplies business. Having recently celebrated its 85th year, Haskell reflects back on what made it successful throughout the years.
Originally known as Haskell Printing and Stationary Company, Haskell began business in the worst economic environment the world has ever seen, the Great Depression. Opening its doors in 1928 put the company in an extremely precarious position. Few would have given Haskell much of a chance of surviving through the depression let alone eight and a half decades since.
Despite the odds, Haskell persevered and built a foundation to not only overcome the depression but a world war, several major recessions and the rise of the office superstores. With all cards stacked against it, the company emerged stronger than ever and today sells office furniture and supplies to businesses around the country and around the globe. On its flagships site OfficeSalesUSA.com, Haskell offers services that give it the edge and allows it to compete in an ever more aggressive environment.
Although the Internet originally posed another major hurdle to old fashioned stationers, Haskell hired the talent to accelerate its proficiency in the new medium. While traditional store to store retailers had to face increased costs to heat buildings and rent or purchase space, Haskell went virtual and drop ships to its customers from its 80 plus affiliated warehouses. Haskell New York Inc. also provides a convenient no hassle online RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) system that makes returns a snap.
Although technology can be a plus, the growing stationer realizes that sometimes the old fashioned way of doing business is best. With an average response time in minutes rather than hours, Haskell has never lost site of the fact that customers are people and deserve to be treated as such.
Now in its 3rd generation, Haskell today has a GSA (General Services Administration) Schedule 75 and is authorized to sell to both the government and general public. The company is also a member of the Department of Defense Emall and supports the AbilityOne program that benefits people with extreme disabilities including the blind, people living with limited mobility and wounded veterans.
Although times have changed much, Haskell New York Inc. remains true to its roots. In an age of endless voicemail headaches, the company remains committed to personal attention and fast, friendly service because it knows that sometimes, the traditional model is actually better.
