About Us
Our Story
COS is Australia’s largest family-run and operated education and office supplies business, led by second-generation sisters Belinda and Amie Lyone as Co-CEOs.
Founded in 1977 by Dominique Lyone with just two staff members in Western Sydney, COS has grown exponentially over the past 45 years. Today, we have over 600 employees delivering thousands of products to workers, patients, and students across Australia, ensuring their health, safety, and productivity. With warehouses in every state and territory, our reach is truly national.
As a private family-owned business, we take immense pride in our commitment to community and sustainability. Thanks to the dedication of our people and the loyalty of our customers, COS donates 1% of annually to the Lyone Foundation and over the past decade, the Lyone Foundation has contributed over $20 million to local charities across Australia, supporting inspiring initiatives and programs focused on human welfare.
In 2024 we are working towards achieving our dual goals of net zero operations and 100% renewable electricity across all our facilities nationwide. This milestone underscores our dedication to a sustainable future for our community and the generations to come.
