Staples Inc. will move 250 financial support jobs to an office in South Carolina, with 175 of them coming from the Bay State, the Boston Globe reports.
The move represents the first time Staples has ever sent corporate positions outside of Massachusetts. Staples’ new office in Columbia will consolidate operations such as accounts payable and receivable that currently operate out of the firm’s Framingham, Westboro, and Lincolnshire, Ill. offices. The remaining 75 employees affected by the move are based in Lincolnshire.
Staples also announced that it will add at least 175 jobs in Massachusetts in the upcoming year, according to company spokesman Paul Capelli.
