Since 1928, Strickland Companies has been on a journey that started with delivering paper to businesses in Alabama.

Over the years, we’ve evolved into a thriving enterprise with six strategic locations, catering to a diverse range of needs including Paper, Packaging, Office Supplies, Janitorial Supplies, and Office Furniture. Despite our growth, we remain rooted in our humble beginnings and unwavering commitment to prioritizing our customers.

Today, Strickland is not just about delivering goods; we handle your every requirement from the front door to the back dock, spanning nationwide. Our ethos is deeply ingrained in our values as an organization. We prioritize faith, family, and work, in that order. At the core of our operations lie relationships; we believe in earning business through our agility, focus, evolutionary mindset, and stability, which collectively foster trust.

With six strategically located facilities representing and distributing products for hundreds of manufacturers across the Southeast, Strickland Companies continues to lead in distribution. While our growth trajectory remains rapid, we remain proudly privately owned. Our services have expanded significantly, now encompassing fine paper, flexible packaging, business products, office furniture, and facility supplies.

Moreover, as a testament to our commitment to excellence, we are proud charter members of the Association of Independent Printing Paper Merchants, alongside our membership in AOPD, ISG, and PDA. At Strickland Companies, we are not just a business; we are a trusted partner, dedicated to meeting your evolving needs with integrity and reliability.
