Leitz 5138 hole punch

Leitz is a prestigious German brand with a long history in organizational and office supplies. Founded in 1871 by Louis Leitz, the brand became synonymous with high-quality office tools, most notably inventing the lever arch file. The 5138 model shown is a heavy-duty hole punch known for its durability and precision.

While the brand originated in Stuttgart, Germany, its ownership has transitioned through major international corporate acquisitions. Today, Leitz is a key brand under ACCO Brands Corporation, an American conglomerate that acquired the business to expand its global footprint in the office stationery market. Manufacturing remains primarily centered in Europe to maintain quality standards, though global distribution and some production parts may occur across ACCO's international network.
