About Athens At Athens, handshakes count and hard work matters. We opened our doors in 1952. In 1968, Donald Jenkins, Jr. and Bud Chamberlain purchased the company. Together, these two entrepreneurs built one of the largest privately-owned distributors in the Southeast, growing from one office in Nashville to twelve locations serving sixteen states. Athens has three divisions: Paper, Packaging, and Wide Format. In all divisions, we have strategic partnerships with the right suppliers for you. Our Paper Division offers offset and digital papers, as well as envelopes and solutions for publishers. Along with providing everyday supplies, our Packaging Division can perform a comprehensive facility review for you to identify opportunities to increase productivity and lower total costs. As an authorized dealer for HP latex role printers and Scitex flat-bed UV printers, our Wide Format Division provides equipment, supplies and technical support. Athens works to preserve and sustain our planet’s natural resources. All divisions are: • Chain of Custody Certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) • Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) ® Certified • Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) With well-stocked warehouses, online ordering, and over 10,000 products, you get what you need when you need it. Everyone on our team believes great service is good business. We’re friendly, responsive and respectful, working hard every day to earn your trust on every order. Call us today.
