OUR COMPANY
Corporate Overview and History
Established in 1995, the foundation of Staples’ culture and model for success is treating our clients like family. It is our service – our personal touch – that transcends all other contributors to the success of a project.
Using this model of immersive client interaction, we have successfully completed nearly $1 billion in construction projects across the United States. Staples builds projects that, while diverse in character, share a single focus on quality craftsmanship with an aim to connect people to their environments and to each other.
We see every project as an important and long-term contribution to its surrounding community.
We are not only committed to building reliable, sustainable facilities with quality craftsmanship, but also to enhancing the wellbeing of the communities and residents we serve. This approach is ingrained in our culture and extends to both our hiring policies and our commitment to trade diversity. We believe there should be an equal opportunity for all to thrive individually through collective teamwork.
It is this sense of community that sparks our passion to contribute our expertise and give back in way that has a long-lasting impact.
