About Kensington
It all started with an idea: smart made simple™.
This is the idea that drives everything we design. It is the idea that makes Kensington products different.
What does "smart made simple™" mean? It means smart features that are easy to use. It means stylish designs that travel well and reduce clutter at home. It means engaging with and listening to our customers to create unique products that enhance the way we work and play today.
We offer over 400 products, organized into seven different categories. And every one of these products reflects our "smart made simple" philosophy.
We are the worldwide leader in notebook security, offering the world's most secure locking solution for notebooks, and the worldwide leader in portable notebook power. We provide a full catalog of mobile computing solutions: award-winning mice, keyboards and docking stations, stylish notebook cases and a complete line of accessories for the iPhone®, iPod® and other MP3 players. Kensington delivers technology accessories that make the digital experience more productive and enjoyable-in the office, at home or on the go.

Our History Of Innovation
ACCO Brands Corporation’s roots stretch back more than a century. Over the years, our brands have consistently been guided by a spirit of innovation and a commitment to delivering superior, cutting-edge products for our customers. This has enabled us to flourish and grow in a continually evolving office products environment.
ACCO Brands Corporation became an independent publicly traded company on August 17, 2005. The Company was formed through the spin-off of the ACCO World office products unit of Fortune Brands (NYSE: FO) and its subsequent merger with General Binding Corporation (GBC). This transaction brought together the complementary businesses, brands and strengths of ACCO and GBC to form the world's largest supplier of branded office products – a global office products powerhouse. As a highly focused office products company, we are now uniquely positioned to capitalize on the opportunities for growth in our industry.
ACCO Brands' businesses got their start with the founding of Wilson Jones in 1893, the American Clip Company (ACCO) in 1903, and the Swingline Company in 1925. These were among the first companies to revolutionize the basic ways in which we record, store and organize information in offices, schools and workspaces through the creation of the ring binder, the mass production of the paper clip, and the widespread popularization of staplers.
GBC was founded in 1947 to manufacture and sell desktop binding products, and eventually broadened its product base to include a range of binding solutions, as well as laminating products, shredders, visual communication products and calculators. Over the years, the company established itself as a leader in the office products industry, offering products under the well-known GBC and Quartet brands as well as a range of professional-grade print finishing solutions.
We, at ACCO Brands, are proud to have played a critical role in shaping the office products industry for more than 100 years, and we look forward to continuing our tradition of leadership for years to come.
