Canadian Office Products Association

Canada's leading representative of office product retailers and manufacturers; bringing members the latest essentials for their day-to-day business needs since 1933. Your success is our first priority. The Canadian Office Products Association (COPA) provides solutions for all business requirements. By tapping into the most up-to-date technology available, COPA offers its members the latest in educational and networking opportunities, as well as significant discounts on business expenditures. COPA is heavily involved in developing research and training initiatives, and pledges to provide members with the information required to meet the demands of today's ever-fluctuating market. Founded in 1933 as the Stationers' Guild of Canada Inc., the organization broadened its mandate in 1956 to become the Stationery and Office Equipment Guild of Canada Inc., and in 1968 evolved into what is today known as the Canadian Office Products Association. The association was incorporated in the Province of Ontario and is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Members of COPA include businesses that sell products for the office to the end consumer (known as dealers), as well as firms that manufacture and/or distribute those products (known as suppliers and wholesalers). COPA also includes companies classed as manufacturers' sales agents.
