What is the name of the paper company in The Office US?

The story behind the answer

The paper company in The Office (US) is called Dunder Mifflin.

Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, Inc. is the fictional regional paper and office-supplies wholesaler at the center of the American series. The show mainly follows employees at its Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch, including Michael Scott, Jim Halpert, Pam Beesly, Dwight Schrute, and Angela Martin.

Within the show’s history, the company was founded in 1949 by Robert Dunder and Robert Mifflin. An episode explains that the founders originally sold construction brackets before moving into paper. The business later faces financial trouble, changes ownership, and becomes tied to the Michael Scott Paper Company storyline.

Wernham Hogg is the comparable company from the original British version of The Office, which is why viewers sometimes confuse the names. OfficeMax and Staples are real office-supply companies and function as competitors or analogues, but they are not the company featured in the U.S. series.
