Officebusters is the largest dealer of office furniture and equipment in Japan with 22 stores.  They sell used office furniture which includes: computer desk, office desk, office table, office chair, office cabinet, modular partition, copiers, etc.  In 2006, they went into a business partnership with a local company, Tetra Technologies Distribution Inc., and opened its first store at Shaw, Mandaluyong.  “In the beginning, I,m a little nervous because the market is flooded with cheap office furniture.  But comparing the quality and built of the products against its cheap competitor, makes me more confident that it can compete” said Mr. Richard Yabut, General Manager of Officebusters Philippines.  4 years and 11 stores later, Officebusters Philippines has become a major dealer if not the biggest dealer of used/surplus office furniture in the Philippines.  “Filipino Businessmen and Entrepreneurs are always looking for ways to bring their cost down.  With savings up to 90% on office furniture, how could they go wrong?” said Mr. Yabut.

That’s impressive.  How where they able to achieve that? ” Although used, our products are world class brands such as:  Okamura, Itoki, Plus, Lion, Uchida to name a few.  These are expected to last for 15 years as mandated by the Japanese Industrial Standards, they are very durable.  Generally, our products has been used for 0 to 3 years.  So there are still a lot of “life” still left in it, and there is a huge variety to choose from.”

Offibusters advocates 3R:  Reuse, Reduce, Recycle.  The idea is: by Reusing and Recycling Items, we will reduce the need to use new natural resources.  Therefore, help preserve the environment.   Mr. Kotaro Adachi of Officebusters Japan said “Manufacturing one new steel desk produces 70 kilos of carbon dioxide. But if a company buys a used steel desk, the CO2 production is zero. That practice meets stricter environmental laws in the near future and will strengthen their brand image,”

“Marketing was a challenge for us.  We are using different medias to bring our name out there, the key is being consistent about it, measuring the results, determining which works and which doesn’t, then adjusting your campaigns accordingly”.   said Mr. Yabut.   Which of the campaign yielded the best results? “Our Internet Marketing campaign gives the best return against investment.  Ateletech mostly does that job for us.” said Mr. Yabut, how much returns? He did not elaborate.

“Officebusters Philippines is still growing and expanding. We will open a branch in Cebu soon and in other parts of the Country.  Our customers could expect more product varieties with the same quality and low price in the future.” said Mr. Yabut.
