At Theodist, we’ve been a cornerstone of Papua New Guinea’s business landscape for over 50 years. Since opening our doors in 1968 as a small, two-person store, we’ve grown into the nation’s leading supplier of office products and business solutions. Today, we’re powered by a team of over 300 dedicated professionals, serving businesses, educational institutions, and homes across the country.
Our Journey
Theodist started as a supplier of surveying and drafting equipment, catering primarily to industry professionals. Over the decades, we’ve expanded our expertise to meet the diverse needs of modern businesses. With corporate branches in Port Moresby, Lae, and Mt. Hagen, as well as a trusted network of over 200 resellers nationwide, we ensure that our products and services reach every corner of Papua New Guinea.
OUR NAME
The name “Theodist” reflects our heritage, combining elements of "Theodolites" and “Distance” measurers—two essential tools for surveyors and drafters that defined our early business. Though we’ve grown into a leading supplier across many industries, our name remains a testament to our roots.
