Who is WJ Office?

W. J. Office was founded in 1976. With roots in West Jefferson, NC (hence the WJ in the name), we began in a 600 square foot facility and have grown substantially during that time. In addition to weathering the present economic challenges, we've seen interest rates of 20%, technology booms and busts, and have overcome numerous competitive challenges during these past 34 years. 

Being a family business, W. J. Office has positioned itself to keep up with logistical and technology trends, selecting those that made sense as to who we are and who we want to become. We offer office furniture and design with the blessing of lots of product lines too numerous to mention, but certainly something for all tastes and budgets. Our furniture specialists are trained in CAD for quick turnaround for drawings and proposals.

In the office products arena, W. J. Office has partnerships with the largest buying group in the United States with which we link our purchasing power with those of over 600 other office products dealers to leverage our vendors for rock bottom prices that we are able to pass along to our clients. Likewise, our distributor relationships are outstanding as well. We are partners with the largest national distributor in North America that supports us with 31 locations nationwide for next day delivery on over 27,000 different items. 

Our technology department can boast that we feel that we offer the top copier line in the US (Savin by Ricoh). Ricoh spends 12% of its annual revenue on research and development. Our techs are factory trained and have also had training on Hewlett Packard printers. This broad scope of technology products has allowed us to move into some new areas of printing and managing the printing and copying devices within an organization (managed print services). We have discovered that we have been able to offer substantial savings and provide better service to our customers in this area of unmonitored costs.

So, the question becomes still "who are we and what do we want to be?" We are a "one stop shop" yet with specialists who operate each segment of the business as if it was a standalone operation. We have the ability to outfit an office entirely, supply it with equipment and provide service on that equipment, provide office supplies that are needed within that organization, and then provide the products that can keep it clean and create a positive impression with the public. We see ourselves as an outstanding resource for any business that wants to consolidate its purchases and deal with fewer vendors while also dealing with a company that invests in its own business and that of its clients. We look for ways to save your money as it were ours!

W. J. Office is the type of business that is a foundation in a community. All communities have them. These businesses are active in civic affairs, support local causes, participate in the leadership of churches and community organizations, and provide jobs with benefits! No one in Western North Carolina does what we do in its entirety. W.J. Office wants to be the benchmark by which you would measure other potential vendors.
