Effective 1st October 2024, the business of Tosco Business & Education will be sold to Complete Office Supplies (COS).  

 

The decision to sell Tosco comes as the current owners Stephen & Judy are ready to embark on their well-deserved retirement. They have built an incredible legacy, and COS are honoured to continue Tosco’s growth and success. This acquisition represents a strategic move for COS to expand their footprint in Northern Queensland, after successfully entering Townsville in 2023 as well as enter the Managed Print category capitalizing on the synergies between our two companies. COS have proudly committed to offer employment to all Tosco employees.

 

Blending COS and Tosco business and teams, will deliver synergies that will benefit business and school buyers. Schools and Businesses in North Queensland & Far North Queensland will be delighted that COS is a clear locally owned and operated alternative, with significant buying influence to deliver competitive prices, a larger product range, world class website, and a leadership team that is passionate about “Service Excellence”.  Together, we provide a compelling value proposition that is going to be hard to beat. 

 

For COS and Tosco suppliers, it’s business as usual until the 1st October, 2024. You will continue to receive purchase orders from both COS and Tosco during September. Please follow the instructions of the purchase order closely.  From 1st October suppliers will no longer receive purchase orders from Tosco and will start to receive purchase orders from COS for both Townsville and Cairns delivery. 

 

Your COS and Tosco key contact person will be in touch with you in the coming weeks to discuss ongoing trading arrangements.
