This information is not correct - Staples Advantage was around long before the Corporate Express acquisition. It is a division within Staples specific to business-to-business functions. The website was called StaplesLink from 1999 to 2011 when it was renamed StaplesAdvantage.com. The Corporate Express business was integrated into the existing StaplesAdvantage business unit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.37.244.10 (talk) 19:46, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I split the airline off into its own article. I added in an infobox culled from the Feb 2005 factsheet from the company, but I bet I got some of the numbers in the wrong place.

Suggestions for improvement

Remove the salespitch - The article sounds like it was copied from investment brochures. Consequently, there's not actually all that much useful info in there.
Update Numbers - Someone with a better grasp of finance may be able to polish up the infobox quite a bit. http://www.corporateexpress.com/files/BuhrmannFactSheet_200502.pdf
Other Sites - There are companies all over the world that trade under the Corporate Express name -- this article only references the operation in the US and Canada.

     * http://www.corporateexpress.info/ - Corporate Express Europe
     * http://www.ce.com.au - Corporate Express Australia
     * http://www.asap.com/ - ASAP Software
     * http://imaging.cexp.com/ - Corporate Express Imaging

Other Lines of Business - We should probably note the furniture and imprinting businesses, as well.
