COS is loud and proud about being an Australian-owned family business.
We are also passionate about working with many innovative Australian companies and supporting them wherever possible.
We all know that buying from Australian owned companies benefits business. However, we sometimes lose sight of the bigger picture; that buying from Australian owned businesses also benefits the entire nation, by enabling local innovation and investment in bright ideas.
As a company, COS is committed to keeping jobs and profits within Australia and takes pride in promoting and supporting other Australian-owned businesses, including Indigenous suppliers. You will find many iconic Australian brands at COS, as well as some lesser-known, highly innovative local brands. Just some examples include:
Muru Office Supplies
