Which company buys Dunder Mifflin in season 6 of "The Office"?

The story behind the answer

Which company buys Dunder Mifflin in season 6 of The Office? The answer is Sabre.

In the sixth season of the American version of The Office, the printer company Sabre buys Dunder Mifflin after the paper company struggles financially. The acquisition is revealed during the season's Christmas storyline and reshapes the Scranton branch's workplace hierarchy.

Sabre is led by Jo Bennett, a powerful executive from Florida, played by Kathy Bates. Her arrival brings new corporate policies, including changes to sales, management, and office equipment. Gabe Lewis, played by Zach Woods, also comes to Scranton as a Sabre representative and becomes part of the show's central workplace conflicts.

A common mix-up is David Wallace, who later returns to buy Dunder Mifflin back from the Sabre division near the end of the series. That later transaction does not change the season-six answer: Sabre is the company that originally acquires Dunder Mifflin and operates it through much of seasons 6 and 7.
