What is the company history of U Brands®?

U Brands® LLC was established in 2014 in San Juan Capistrano, California, just south of Los Angeles and employs less than 50 people. The company was born to bring fresh designs, innovation, and a more modern look to traditional office supplies because of the gap founders saw in the current types of office supplies being sold. They thought that organizational accessories and supplies for workplace environments should have more style and innovation, since people will be using or looking at them every day. From designing quality and timeless products from start to finish, U Brands® ensures that customers will love and make good use out of these products for a long time.

U Brands® offers both wholesale purchasing and individual purchasing, which makes them a versatile brand serving many customers. The company headquarters is located at 27121 Calle Arroyo Ste 2220, San Juan Capistrano, California, and has two more office locations in Mission Viejo, California and in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This small but mighty company aims to deliver high quality yet fashionable products for your office or workspace.

What is the parent company of U Brands®?

U Brands®' parent company is Smead manufacturing, which is a company that sells folders and other organizational tools geared towards work. Smead offers many colors and sizes of folders depending on the size of paper you are filing away, as well as accessories to better organize your folders.

Smead acquired U Brands® in 2017 and since then has expanded the commercial market significantly and has become one of the top office suppliers recognized by the NPD Group. The merge between Smead and U Brands® has increased sales for both companies, making them reputable brands with a variety of products.

Does U Brands® practice sustainability?

To help the environment and to reduce waste, U Brands® is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified, meaning that products come from responsible sources that promote forest management. This certification is beneficial to not only the environment but has economic and social benefits as well. It's important to U Brands® employees to create products with environmentally friendly products, as they offer stationery, journals and notebooks.

Additionally, to give back to the community, U Brands® gives leftover products and inventory to local schools, and a percentage of profits go towards helping the Kids In Need Foundation.

Are U Brands® products versatile?

U Brands® products are timeless. With subtle colors and shades, you can complete your at-home office or bring a new flair to your desk at the office. Since the products are simple and sleek looking, they can be used in many workplace environments and are bound to bring compliments. U Brands® products are multi-functional. The dry erase boards can be used time and time again by simply erasing the old content, the desk organization items can serve different purposes, and the magnets can be used in various spaces around the office. Having stylish office supplies that are multi-functional can be very helpful when trying to organize tasks and meetings throughout the day.
