by Rebecca Walker — May 27, 2009 Dancker, Sellew & Douglas (DS&D), a leading commercial interior firm, has signed a letter of intent to acquire the assets of General Office Environments (GOE), a leading provider of commercial furnishings.
As a result of this collaboration, all GOE product and service activities will be folded into DS&D to create one of the industry’s largest single-source providers of building interior solutions, based at DS&D’s corporate headquarters in Somerville, New Jersey.
“Our combined strengths, service capabilities and expanded network of vendor partnerships will provide existing and new customers throughout the region with an even greater array of cost-effective and dedicated commercial interior solutions,” said Scott Douglas, president and CEO at DS&D.
“This combination marks the seamless transition of two industry leaders committed to the same goal of exceeding client expectations with the best valued-added solutions available in the marketplace,” says Steve Lang, Principal at DS&D. “It is also the ideal fit of two companies that are driven by the same overwhelming dedication to professionalism, responsiveness, and overall product quality.”
Effective May 2009, the proposed deal will mark the consolidation of two of the Northeast region’s largest and most-recognized commercial interior companies. Founded in 1929, GOE has successfully serviced clients located throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York with high-quality commercial furnishings, architectural products, and technology solutions for nearly 80 years. The GOE product portfolio contains thousands of quality products from many of the industry’s leading manufacturers.
Founded in 1829, DS&D is a leading provider of furniture and interior solutions, lighting products, relocation and asset management services to the architectural, commercial office, educational, healthcare and laboratory marketplaces. The DS&D customer base also stretches from New Jersey through much of the Mid-Atlantic.
