The story

The ACCO name derives from the American Clip Company, founded in 1903 by Fred J. Kline. The business later became part of American Brands, later known as Fortune Brands.

In 2005, Fortune Brands spun off ACCO World and merged it with General Binding Corporation to create ACCO Brands Corporation.

In 2012, ACCO Brands merged with MeadWestvaco's Consumer & Office Products business. The transaction added brands including Mead, Five Star, Trapper Keeper, AT-A-GLANCE, Cambridge, Day Runner, Hilroy, Tilibra, and Grafons to the company's portfolio.

In 2017, ACCO Brands acquired Esselte Group Holdings AB, expanding its position in Europe and adding brands including Leitz, Esselte, Rapid, and Rexel.

In 2020, ACCO Brands acquired PowerA, a maker of video game controllers and gaming accessories, as part of its expansion in technology accessories.

In 2023, Thomas W. Tedford succeeded Boris Elisman as chief executive officer.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks ACCO Brands names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 9, 2026: 32 risks under these headings, as written.17

  • The factors that are discussed below, as well as the matters that are generally set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the documents incorporated by reference herein, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us or that are not deemed material also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition in the future.
  • Economic and Strategic Risks
  • Operational Risks
  • Technology and Cybersecurity Risks
  • Liquidity, Capital Resources and Capital Allocation Risks
  • Legal and Regulatory Risks
  • General Risk Factors
  • A limited number of large customers account for a significant percentage of our net sales, and the loss of, or a substantial reduction in sales to, or gross profit from, or significant decline in the financial condition of one or more of these customers has and is likely to continue to adversely impact our business and results of operations.
  • Sales of our products have been, and we expect they will continue to be, materially and adversely affected by general economic and business conditions globally and in the countries in which we operate.
  • Large customers have taken, and may continue to take, actions that adversely affect our gross profit and operating results.
  • The Company has foreign currency translation and transaction exposure that has, and is likely to continue to, materially affect the Company’s sales, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.
  • Challenges related to the highly competitive business environment in which we operate have, and are likely to continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
The other 26 risks
  • Our success depends on our ability to develop and market innovative products that meet consumer and other end-user demands, including price expectations, and to expand into new and adjacent product categories.
  • Growth in emerging geographies may be difficult to achieve and exposes us to financial, operational, regulatory, compliance, and other risks not present, or not as prevalent, in more established markets.
  • Continued declines in the use of certain of our products have and will continue to materially adversely affect our business.
  • Our school and technology accessories businesses are seasonal, which has impacted, and may in the future impact, our ability to accurately forecast our operating results, and working capital requirements.
  • The level of investment returns on pension plan assets and the assumptions used for valuation purposes have affected the Company's earnings and could affect the Company’s earnings and cash flows in future periods. Changes in government regulations, as well as the significant unfunded liabilities, including the unfunded liabilities of the U.S. multi-employer pension plan in which we are a participant, could also affect the Company’s pension plan expenses and funding requirements.
  • Impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets have had, and could in the future have, a material adverse effect on our financial results.
  • Our inability to secure, protect and maintain rights to intellectual property could have an adverse impact on our business. In particular, the success and future growth of our technology accessories business depends on its ability to license the right to use the trademarks and other intellectual property and/or receive certifications as to the compatibility of our technology products with third parties.
  • We depend upon the introduction and success of new gaming consoles to drive sales of our products. If newly introduced gaming consoles are not successful, if the rate at which those products are introduced declines, or if such products are not readily available, it may negatively impact our business.
  • Our strategy is partially based on growth through acquisitions. Failure to properly identify, value and manage acquisitions, and successfully integrate them may materially impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
  • Failure to successfully implement our restructuring and cost savings initiatives could adversely affect our future results of operations and cash flow.
  • Our business, results of operations and cash flow have been, and may continue to be, adversely impacted by disruptions in the global supply chain.
  • Our operating results have been, and continue to be, adversely affected by inflation and changes in the cost or availability of raw materials, transportation, labor and other necessary supplies and services, including the cost of finished goods.
  • Outsourcing the development and production of certain of our products, our information technology systems and other administrative and finance functions could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
  • We rely extensively on information technology systems to operate, transact and otherwise manage our business. Any material failure, inadequacy, or interruption of that technology or its supporting infrastructure could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
  • Security breaches could compromise our confidential and proprietary information, as well as any personally identifiable information for which we are responsible, and expose us to operational and legal risks that could cause our business and reputation to suffer and materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
  • Failure to successfully implement artificial intelligence in our operations and mitigate the attendant risks could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
  • Our existing borrowing arrangements limit our ability to engage in certain activities. If we are contractually restricted from pursuing activities or transactions that we believe are in our long-term best interests or are unable to meet our obligations under our loan agreements, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
  • We may not continue to pay dividends at historic rates, or at all, or engage in stock repurchases.
  • Product liability claims, recalls or regulatory actions could materially adversely affect our financial results or harm our reputation or brands.
  • Litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities and damage our reputation.
  • Additional tax liabilities stemming from our global operations and changes in tax legislation, regulation and tax rates have, and may continue to, adversely affect our financial results.
  • Laws, rules and regulations and self-regulatory requirements that affect our business, including the costs of compliance, as well as the impact of changes in such laws, could materially adversely affect our business, reputation, and results of operations.
  • Changes in trade policy and regulations in the United States and other countries, including the imposition of tariffs and changes in trade agreements, and the resulting consequences, as well as the ongoing uncertainties related to future tariffs and trade policy, have, and are likely to continue to, adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
  • Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.
  • Our stock price is volatile.
  • Circumstances outside our control, including telecommunication failures, labor strikes, power and/or water shortages, acts of God, public health emergencies, including the occurrence of a pandemic, severe weather conditions, natural disasters, war, terrorism, and other geopolitical incidents have, and in the future could, materially and adversely impact our business, sales, results of operations, and financial condition.

Legal proceedings

We are party to various lawsuits and regulatory proceedings, as well as other claims incidental to our business. In addition, we may be unaware of third-party claims of intellectual property infringement relating to our technology, brands, or products, and we may face other claims related to business operations. Any litigation regarding patents or other intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and might require us to pay monetary damages or enter into costly license agreements. We also may be subject to injunctions against development and sale of certain of our products.

It is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of currently outstanding matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow. However, there is no assurance that we will ultimately be successful in our defense of any of these matters or that an adverse outcome in any matter will not affect our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flow. Further, future claims, lawsuits, and legal proceedings could materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition.
