SAX Design hole puncher

SAX is a historic Austrian brand synonymous with high-quality office accessories. The brand's origins date back to 1888 when Heinrich Sachs founded the company in Vienna and pioneered the production of steel thumbtacks. By 1931, the company expanded its portfolio to include stationery staples like hole punchers and staplers, which remain the core of their lineup today.

Over the decades, SAX evolved into a dominant player in the European office supply market. In 1999, the brand was acquired by Imarco H. Hromatka Beteiligungs GmbH, becoming a sister company to the renowned art supply brand Cretacolor. Following a series of mergers, the brand is now under the umbrella of Brevillier Urban & Sachs GmbH & Co KG. While the company maintains a strong manufacturing presence in Hirm, Austria—adhering to strict EU quality standards—some contemporary production or components for global distribution may involve facilities in China to remain competitive in the international market.
