General Binding Corporation (GBC), in the business of packaging and presenting information for more than a half century, is among the world leaders in binding, laminating, and displaying products. The GBC, Quartet, and Ibico brands are marketed in more than 100 countries. GBC experienced a slump following a 1990s expansion and scaled back product offerings. A merger with Fortune Brands Inc.'s ACCO World Corporation was completed in August 2005.
