MACO began as a full-​service stationer providing business stationary including logo design, general merchandise, office machinery and furniture. Maco Office Supplies quickly became well known in the area, and began establishing commercial accounts that remain its customers today. As the area began to grow economically, more businesses were coming to Hudson county. By 1961, within 10 years of its establishment, company moved to a 5,000 square-​foot building.

Meet the Business Owner

Rick R.

Business Owner

Maco had operated primarily as a commercial source providing daily deliveries, with only a small retail business. But as the area grew, the retail business increase significantly. Plans were outline to open a showroom/​retail store. In 1996, the retail store opened, with a purple and peach color scheme. It was met with excitement and praise by the local community. A glass, diamond-​shaped display case welcomed customers as they entered. A 40-​foot counter provided an ample customer service area, with cubicles creating workspaces for employees. The exterior was redone. And the mansard roof prominently displayed the letters: MACO.

Also in 1986, Ricky married Sharon Giannattasio, who joined the Maco staff. Initially, Sharon worked in the retail store and currently designs office interiors. She was responsible for expanding the furniture sales division. Ricky’s Sister, carol, came to work at the store too, and is now responsible for developing and maintaining commercial accounts.
