Esselte Business Corp

In 1913, nearly 15 separate Swedish businesses joined together to form SLT. Through numerous acquisitions, the company grew to include everything from book binding and paper manufacturing to the printing of stationery, playing cards, maps, forms and printing securities. In August 1970, the group changed its name to Esselte. It acquired Benson's International Systems, one of the world's largest producers of ring binder mechanisms. The company sells more than 30,000 different products for workspace solutions. Esselte products are available different product categories, which include creative products, such as adhesive products, hand-held printers and cold-lamination machines; organizational solutions, which include file folders, presentation products, soft plastics products, indices and dividers, ring binders, storage products, piling products and file systems; and workspace products, such as binding machines and supplies, lamination machines and supplies, staplers and perforators, letter trays, desk accessories, printer cartridges and computer accessories.
