The Canadian Office Products Association (COPA) awarded ACCO the owners of such brands as GBC and Rexel an award to collectively recognize the company’s community service contributions, green products innovations, and product development excellence.

“These awards reflect our goal of bringing relevant products to market based on the principles of innovation, design and sustainability,” said Ed Lovekin, vice president and general manager of ACCO Brands Canada. “We believe we will succeed in the marketplace only through a continued focus on developing products with meaningful features and benefits, and producing them with a green approach wherever possible.”
