LOUISVILLE, Ky. (July 23, 2018) — Office Resources Inc., an authorized Steelcase dealer and platinum partner headquartered in Louisville, Ky., has acquired IDS, Tennessee, dba DeKalb Office in Nashville effective July 9, 2018. ORI has purchased substantially all of DeKalb Office’s assets.

Moving forward, John Rasper and DeKalb will remain focused on their Atlanta and Birmingham markets.

“The Nashville market is a great fit for us,” said Bell. “We will leverage our expertise, infrastructure and strong customer orientation to deliver the most extensive portfolio of contract furniture and services available in the commonwealth and Tennessee. It is truly an honor to continue the great tradition that DeKalb has established in Nashville providing ‘best-in-class’ relationships with their customers.”
