Lyreco Celebrates 100 Years of Delivering Great Working Days
Lyreco, a global leader in workplace products and solutions, proudly celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. From its humble beginnings in 1926, when Georges-Gaston Gaspard opened a small bookstore in Valenciennes, France, Lyreco has grown into an international provider of workplace solutions, serving customers in more than 25 countries.
Over the past century, Lyreco has evolved to become a major distributor of office and workplace supplies, including PPE, Hygiene, Coffee, and Catering. Today, the Lyreco brand unites operations across Europe and Asia, offering a full range of solutions designed to deliver Great Working Days for everyone, reflecting the company’s ability to respond with agility to a changing world while maintaining high standards of quality and service excellence.
Reaching 100 years is a milestone few organisations can achieve. This anniversary is a celebration not only of our growth and resilience but of the people who make our mission possible, our employees, customers, and partners. It is their Passion that allows Lyreco to stay in step with the workplaces of today and tomorrow.

Natalie Gaspard, Lyreco President and fourth-generation member of the founding family, added: “From a small bookstore in Valenciennes to a global workplace solutions provider, our journey has always been about people. Staying in step with our customers and helping them create great working days is at the heart of everything we do. This commitment will continue to guide Lyreco into its next 100 years.”
Beyond delivering workplace solutions, Lyreco has consistently focused on making a positive and lasting impact in communities and the environment. For over 15 years the company has partnered with CARE to support the education of children in underserved regions and has taken a leadership role in implementing sustainable practices across its operations. By remaining agile, committed to excellence, and focused on building a more sustainable future, the company has stayed in step with its customers and their changing needs, taking an active role in understanding the Future of Work.
As Lyreco marks a century of pioneering spirit, growth, and social responsibility, the company looks ahead to sustainably delivering many more great working days.
