Founded in the Basque Country of Northern Spain in 1920, as a manufacturer of revolvers, El Casco began the production of their distinctive stapler M-5 in 1934. Today they provide the finest range of desk accessories in the world, while maintaining the Hallmark of their origin by training their own apprentices, and teaching the traditional manufacturing skills. These processes are both painstaking and manual,-all precison components are individually numbered and assembled by hand.
