DeWITT, N.Y. — Stevens Office Interiors of DeWitt, which was acquired by a Rochester–area company nearly two years ago, is finally getting a new name.
FM Office Express Inc., a full-service office furniture and supplies company that acquired Stevens for an undisclosed sum on March 31, 2018, announced that it and all of its subsidiaries are operating under a new brand name: Intivity. The name went into effect on Jan. 3.
“Intivity is an invented name that unites elements of our industry and brand and represents what we do and how we do it,” Fabricio Morales, CEO of FM Office Express, said in a statement. “We create interiors, innovation and inspiration, and we promote creativity, connectivity and productivity in our associates and our clients.”
