Creative Office Resources (COR), a major New England-based office furniture distributor, has acquired HB Workplaces, a MillerKnoll certified dealer with offices and showrooms in Salt Lake City and St. George; Boise, Idaho; Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada; and Seattle.
The sale closed in mid-January.
Founded in 1980, HB Workplaces delivers furniture solutions, interior construction and other office space services to clients across the western United States. Supported by a team of over 170 professionals, HB Workplaces has relationships as consultants, strategists and design collaborators.
“HB Workplaces brings decades of expertise and a strong regional presence, making them a natural partner for COR,” said Denise Horn, CEO and partner of Creative Office Resources. “By joining forces, we can continue to leverage our combined strengths to deliver innovative, client-focused workplace solutions nationally. Our teams have collaborated for years, and we’re excited about the opportunities this acquisition creates for our clients and the communities we serve.”
“Creative Office Resources and HB Workplaces share a longstanding dedication to designing spaces that perform at the highest level,” said John Michael, president of the Americas for office furniture manufacturer and distributor MillerKnoll. “This acquisition strengthens HB Workplaces’ ability to deliver strategic insights and innovative solutions, empowering clients across offices, education and health care facilities to meet the evolving demands of today’s work environments.”
“Joining COR is an exciting step for HB Workplaces and our team,” said David Colling, principal and CEO of HB Workplaces. “We’ve long valued our relationship with the COR team, sharing knowledge as fellow MillerKnoll partners for decades. This partnership allows us to provide clients with even greater resources and support while maintaining the personal relationships and local focus that define our approach. We look forward to growing together and delivering exceptional workplace experiences.”
HB Workplaces will now operate as HB Workplaces, A COR Company, with Creative Office Resources serving as the parent organization.
Backed by over 400 employees, COR operates multiple offices and warehouses in New England.
