Cosco was founded in 1939 as the Columbus Specialty Company with the invention of a tin matchbox that dispensed new matches while providing a place for used ones. In 1941, they introduced patented all-metal kitchen stools; the first full line of household stools manufactured by one company.
As they focus on the future, Cosco Home and Office Products have continued to lead the industry by listening to their customers while incorporating innovative concepts into quality, value-added new products.
