OFFICE MART: Office Mart sets up office in Tanzania

This year has seen the setup of the first Office Mart outlet outside of Kenya with the opening of Office Mart, Tanzania. The expansion into Tanzania is part of the companys regional strategy to be the leading stationery and office supplies company for the greater East African community. Kudos to the Office Mart team for the great strides it is making!
