HISTORY In 1903 , Fred J. Kline founded the Clipper Manufacturing Company (a maker of Paper Clip s) in Long Island, New York . In 1910 the company became the American Clip Company, and first used the name "ACCO" as an Initialism , which became the company's formal name in 1922 . In 1925 , the creation of Swingline launched the company into the Staple market. After many acquisitions, ACCO went public in 1983 , and was acquired in 1987 by American Brands (later Fortune Brands ). In 2005 ACCO was spun off from Fortune Brands and through the merger with the General Binding Corporation, ACCO Brands was formed. EXTERNAL LINKS |
