The COS Story

COS was founded in 1976 by Dominique Lyone, the son of an Egyptian immigrant whose family fled to Australia after the 1967 6 Day War. Following in the footsteps of his father, the owner of a small typewriter repair work business, Dominique began a local office stationery business in Western Sydney. In those early days COS had two personnel and the leading selling item was typewriter ribbon.
40 years of remarkable growth
40 years later COS sells over 21,000 products with over 350 personnel, and offices and storage facilities in every state and territory. COS is still owned and managed by Dominique, who is now joined by daughters Belinda and Amie who hold key executive roles.
COS’ growth and success is a testimony to Dominique’s drive, enthusiasm and vision. In 2014 he was one of four finalists in the prominent Ethnic Business Awards where the remarkable growth of COS from a small business to a major contributor within the Australian economy was acknowledged and identified.
COS is now the largest 100% Australian owned and operated National Office Products company. The same enthusiasm and ingenious spirit which Dominique showed 40 years ago still stay as core values in the way we do business and support Australian communities.
