LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.—Acco Brands Corp., which makes office products, said Wednesday it expects 2008 sales to be close to flat as weak demand continues throughout the year.
Last year, sales were $1.94 billion. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial, on average, expect sales of $1.91 billion.
The Lincolnshire, Ill.-based company reaffirmed guidance of earnings per share growth in the double digits.
The company is in the midst of a turnaround plan to focus on its consumer-products business and shed other low-margin business.
