How We Got Here

In 1948, National Business Supply Inc. (NBS) started as an office supply and business machines dealer, based in Mt. Clemens, Michigan. We became an authorized Steelcase dealer in 1976, and the founding family transitioned ownership in 1997. At that time, we exited the office supplies and machines industry to grow the interiors business.

Along the way we acquired specialty services and other Steelcase dealers to expand our reach and offerings to become the interior integrator we are today.
