With its expansion into the Garden State, Officeworks Inc. says it is the only contract furniture-focused dealer in the country to have locations in New Jersey, Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.

On Tuesday, Officeworks said it acquired Westfield-based General Office Interiors, in a move that introduces its reach to the North Jersey market.

“Our brands aligned culturally, and we were able to craft a mutually beneficial acquisition,” Officeworks Chief Executive Officer Mark Loughlin said in a prepared statement. “New Jersey is an extension of the New York market, and there are a lot of mature companies there that need sophisticated dealers to support their projects.

“We’re excited to serve that market and to bring on GOI’s talented employees to our team,” he added.

According to Officeworks, GOI is one of two Teknion dealers – a designer, manufacturer and marketing of office systems and office furniture products – in the northern New Jersey area.

The Boston-based company said in a press release that it has experienced substantial growth over the past few years, becoming the largest Teknion dealer in the U.S.

“Teknion is thrilled to have Officeworks bring their exemplary level of service and passion for people and clients to the New Jersey market,” Teknion U.S. President Maxine Mann said in a prepared statement. “We’re proud to be partnered with Officeworks on every level.”
