"Lindell is a perfect fit with our Nordics region," said Mike Miles, Staples' president and chief operating officer. "We've worked together for two years and both companies share a passion for making it easy for our customers. Lindell is a great addition to the Staples family, and we look forward to working more closely with the team."
