Whether it be the famous matches or the invention of a corned beef sandwich. The same holds true for the ring binder mechanism. Around the turn of the last century, businessmen were confronted with the problem that their business books wore out easily. Koloman Handler followed up the idea on how to make books more „durable“, and then came up with the idea of binding them in rings that would open and close. Despite initial customer scepticism and rejection, he was able to convince the world of his idea little by little. This is how the „eternal book“ – the ring binder – was born. 1900 Koloman Handler GmbH is founded in Austria and starts with the production of book corners.
