About
ACCO Brands Corporation has a deep-rooted history that validates its reputation as a global leader in producing innovative academic, consumer, and business products. Founded in 1893, the company initially established its foundations through Wilson Jones, an early innovator in office product manufacturing, and the American Clip Company (ACCO) which played a pivotal role in revolutionizing how paper documentation was organized and stored. Over the years, ACCO Brands has expanded significantly, embracing a plethora of successful brands, including Swingline, GBC, and Kensington, that have become household names. This acquisition of notable companies not only diversified ACCO's product offerings but also reinforced its market position. ACCO Brands operates out of its headquarters in Lake Zurich, Illinois and employs approximately 6,600 staff across 21 countries, driving a strong global presence. Its innovative spirit is underscored by a comprehensive product range that includes office supplies, organization tools, and technology accessories catering to consumers and businesses alike. With annual revenues nearing $2 billion, ACCO Brands is committed to delivering high-quality products that not only meet but exceed the expectations of a diverse customer base spread across more than 100 countries worldwide. The organization's mission is anchored in its belief that exceptional design and functionality can make a meaningful difference in the daily lives of its users.
