The winners of the 21st European Office Products Awards (EOPA) were announced at a special presentation dinner on Tuesday 22 March.
The annual EOPA were presented during the OPI Partnership event which is being held from 21-23 March at the Hotel Okura in the Dutch city of Amsterdam. Partnership once again – and after a COVID-induced one-year break – brings together the leading vendors, resellers and distributors in the European business supplies industry for strategic one-to-one meetings.
The EOPA winners were announced during an evening of fine food and drink, some inadvertent comedy, and a thoughtful and warm industry toast by PBS Holding’s Dr Richard Scharmann.
