ACCO

1893-present

View All Objects
ACCO Brands Corporation is one of the world's largest suppliers of branded office products.

According to this website, "ACCO's businesses got their start with the founding of Wilson Jones in 1893, the American Clip Company (ACCO) in 1903, and the Swingline Company in 1925. These were among the first companies to revolutionize the basic ways in which we record, store and organize information in offices, schools and workspaces through the creation of the ring binder, the mass production of the paper clip, and the widespread popularization of staplers."
