About ACCO BRANDS Corp

ACCO Brands Corp. is a United States-listed company traded on the NYSE under the ticker ACCO. For French, Belgian and Swiss investors, it is best viewed as a global branded-products manufacturer focused on products used at work, while learning, and increasingly in technology accessories. The company is headquartered in Lake Zurich, Illinois, United States, and its corporate structure dates to 2005, although the brand portfolio reflects a much longer operating heritage in office and school supplies. That legacy matters: ACCO’s competitive profile is built on well-known brands, broad channel access, and recurring everyday-use demand across consumer, education and business markets. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000712034/000095017025024931/acco-20241231.htm?utm_source=openai)) ACCO Brands’ core business spans academic supplies, office products, workstation accessories and, more recently, audio and technology peripherals. Its portfolio includes widely recognized brands such as AT-A-GLANCE, Five Star, Kensington, Leitz, Mead, PowerA, Swingline and Tilibra. This mix gives the group exposure to multiple demand pools: school seasonality, home and office organization, business productivity, and gaming or technology-adjacent accessories. In competitive terms, ACCO positions itself as one of the world’s largest suppliers of selected categories of branded academic, consumer and business products, with revenues close to $2 billion according to its investor relations materials. ([ir.accobrands.com](https://ir.accobrands.com/overview/default.aspx?utm_source=openai)) Geographically, the company has a broad international footprint, with sales across several regions and meaningful exposure to seasonal back-to-school cycles, especially in Latin America. The group’s strategy combines brand investment, product innovation, pricing discipline and cost restructuring. A major strategic development came in January 2026, when ACCO completed its acquisition of EPOS, a Denmark-based premium enterprise audio accessories company. Management has explicitly framed this deal as part of a repositioning toward higher-growth technology peripheral categories, which should increase the company’s exposure to premium audio, headsets and collaboration devices.

From an equity research perspective, ACCO is therefore a mature branded-products franchise undergoing portfolio repositioning. It offers recognizable brands and global scale, but it remains sensitive to end-market demand, seasonality and execution in its transformation strategy. For investors following SEC Form 4 insider activity, the stock should be read as a cyclical consumer/industrial hybrid with an ongoing shift toward more technology-enabled product lines.
