James Burn
International
is the
world-renowned
leader in
wire binding
products.
Founded in
1907 in
Poughkeepsie,
New York by
the Trussell
brothers as
the Trussell
Manufacturing
Company, the
company
originally
produced a
line of high
quality
loose-leaf
books. In
1934, the
Trussell
brothers
conceptualized
the “Wire-O®
double loop
binding
wire” and
production
of Wire-O®
commenced
the
following
year. The
sale of the
loose-leaf
division of
the company
in the
1950’s,
along with
the Trussell
company
name, gave
way to the
formation of
the Wire-O
Corporation,
whose
primary
products
included
Wire-O®
bindings.
In 1978, the
Wire-O Corp.
was
purchased by
Standex
International
and was
later merged
into and
combined
with James
Burn
Bindings
Ltd., a 200
year-old
British
bookbinding
concern and
Lhermite®, a
French
equipment
manufacturer,
to form
James Burn
International,
a full
service
supplier of
quality
binding
equipment
and
materials.
Today, James
Burn
International
(JBI) is an
independent
company
which
headquarters
is in France
where
Lhermite®
equipment
are being
developed
and
manufactured.
JBI has
operations
in
Singapore,
Hong Kong
and Bulgaria
and has
licensed
