The Zaf Group Partners with Storr, Strengthening a Century-Old Legacy in North Carolina

Chicago, IL & Raleigh, NC — October 1, 2025 —

The Zaf Group (TZG), the family office of former GE, Motorola, Nortel, and Blackstone executive Mike Zafirovski and his wife Robin, is pleased to announce its strategic partnership with Storr Office Environments, one of the Southeast’s premier workplace solutions providers and among the largest Steelcase dealers in the United States.

Founded in 1914 and headquartered in Raleigh, NC, Storr has built more than a century of trust with clients through its long-standing partnership with Steelcase and its customer-first approach. In addition to offering high-performance office furniture and architectural products, Storr has steadily expanded its portfolio of workplace services — from strategy and design to move management, refurbishment, and ongoing facility support — while maintaining a strong culture of community engagement and charitable giving, upholding its simple guiding principle: “Do what’s right, do your best, and treat others as you would like to be treated”. These offerings are uniquely tailored to reduce complexity, extend the value of client investments, and ensure long-term satisfaction.

This partnership reflects TZG’s commitment to family- and founder-led businesses with enduring values and a long-term vision. Together, TZG and Storr will focus on continuity, stability, and investment in people — strengthening the foundation that has made Storr a trusted partner for generations, while equipping the company for its next chapter of growth.

“Storr is a remarkable company — not just for its legacy of charity in the community, but for its outstanding team, deep customer relationships, and unwavering values,” said Mike Zafirovski, Founder and Chairman of The Zaf Group.

“We are honored to partner with Tom, the Storr leadership, and the broader Storr team. Our goal is to support and enhance what already works, elevating the organization’s capabilities while preserving its strong cultural foundation.”

“Partnering with TZG allows us to preserve the authentic Storr experience while unlocking new opportunities for growth,” said Tom Vande Guchte, CEO of Storr.

“Mike and his team understand the dynamics of family-led businesses, and we’re excited to see how this collaboration will strengthen our ability to serve clients, invest in our people, continue our tradition of giving back to the community, and stay true to our heritage.”

For TZG, this marks another step in its values-based strategy to grow exceptional companies. Following its successful partnership with ACP CreativIT — a rapidly expanding U.S. IT solutions provider — and the transition of ABCO Systems earlier in 2025, TZG remains committed to building long-term value by investing in great teams, strong cultures, and sustainable growth strategies.

Together, TZG and Storr will continue to deliver the deep-rooted client partnerships, local presence, community commitment, and exceptional service that have defined Storr’s history — now reinforced by TZG’s resources, network, and long-term perspective.
