The M.O. Story A team of designers, with combined expertise in graphic design, architectural design and office product development, partnered with the leading document management company, Smead Manufacturing, to develop M.O.'s groundbreaking line of office supplies for the burgeoning small office home office (SOHO) market. Unlike anything currently on the market, M.O. is expected to turn the office supplies category on its ear by changing the focus from "standardized" to "customized" and "bland" to "stylish".
