Lyreco is a worldwide distributor of office supplies and workplace products, founded in 1926 by Georges-Gaston Gaspard in the Valenciennes area of France.

The company focused its development on the French territory during the 1970s. The Lyreco Group structure is now active in 42 countries on four continents. The current slogan of Lyreco is "Simplifying Your Life at Work".

Re-branding

Starting in 2009, Lyreco's own brand products, formerly identified as Impega were re-branded simply to Lyreco, with the budget, standard and premium ranges remaining unaffected

Since 2017 the Lyreco social media program has been launched with big plans for the Telford office to construct a contemplation room and other "quirky" office features .[1]

Lyreco for Education

Started in 2008, the Lyreco for Education programme raises funds from the 16 subsidiaries of the group to give children living in poor conditions a better access to education.

From 2015 to 2018, this initiative will support a project in Madagascar, the sixth poorest country in the world. Frequently hit by strong cyclones, hundreds of schools are destroyed and thousands of children need help to have access to education. LFE will unite its efforts to collect money to provide a good start in the lives of 17,000 children, by rebuilding and renovating school facilities, improving quality of education and focusing on disaster prevention.
