BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 6, 2025-- ODP Business Solutions, a leading supplier of workplace solutions and services, and a division of The ODP Corporation (NASDAQ: ODP), today announced a Private Sector purchasing contract with CoreTrust. Through this partnership, ODP Business Solutions will offer products and services to CoreTrust’s 3,500+ business member purchasing collective serving major industries including retail, manufacturing, hospitality and finance. This agreement marks the latest in a series of new contracts for ODP Business Solutions, demonstrating the company's growth into new, fast-growing industries.

This new corporate services contract allows ODP Business Solutions to supply CoreTrust members with high-quality solutions, including interiors/furniture, technology, breakroom supplies, and print, promotion and apparel services at an exceptional value. These categories are expected to expand by a 4-6% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years industry-wide, reflecting ODP Business Solutions’ continuing focus on areas where there is substantial growth opportunity.

“CoreTrust has tremendous reach and is known as one of the top aggregators for Fortune 1000 companies, so we are honored to leverage our portfolio of products and solutions, and our global supply chain, as a trusted new CoreTrust supplier,” said David Centrella, executive vice president of The ODP Corporation and president of ODP Business Solutions.
