Burolike brings together more than 30 distributors around a dynamic selection of office supplies and furniture for businesses.

iOBURO is the Retail brand of the Alkor Group. Founded in 2019, iOBURO is developing a network of stores around its office and school offering aimed at the general public and very small businesses, but also around modern tools such as its Click & Collect website or its digital loyalty card.

In June 2021 Alkor did welcome the 50 Office Depot stores located in France thanks to the acquisition made by a consortium of members. A huge opportunity for Alkor to grow its B2B retail business & to enforce its true multichannel approach.

The Alkor Group relies on highly automated logistics to deliver orders to its members within 24 hours a day.  With now 2 warehouses one located in St Quentin (northern France) and the other in Valence (southern France) – Alkor& logistics production absorbs strong peaks in activity during the school season and initially puts around 800 pallets per day during peak periods.  This production is ensured in accordance with the triple certification of the Alkor Group, around the axes of Quality, Safety and Environment and to which the cooperative is committed every day.  Indeed, CSR is one of the pillars of Alkor commitments.  IT and Digital are among the main subjects that the Alkor Group energizes in order to ensure the growth of its members and the level of service desired by their customers.
