MyBinding is one of the largest binding and laminating dealers in the United States, with over 90 years of industry experience. [1] Supported by a dedicated team and a comprehensive online knowledge base, it offers resources on binding, laminating, and finishing.
Established in 1998, with roots spanning back as far as 1932, MyBinding started as a small family-owned business in Hillsboro, Oregon. Co-founded by father and son [2] duo Michael and Cory Ware, the company was created not only to bring a focus to the value of the customer in the binding industry but to bring the family together with work close to home.
The company began to find major success when a leader within the community, Jeff McRitchie, offered to build the team a website in 2004. The website proved pivotal in MyBinding’s growth leading Ritchie to become the Vice President of Marketing.
Over the years, MyBinding received recognition on the Inc. 5000 list [3] of fastest-growing companies in the country in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016. The company saw 141% growth between 2009 and 2011, including $10 million in revenue in 2010, as well as passing the milestone of hiring its 50th employee. [4]
In 2012, the company purchased a 68,000-square-foot facility in the Hawthorn Farm Industrial Park [5] to support further growth, employee retention, and recruitment.
In 2019, the company was acquired by Spiral Binding, an industry leader that opened its doors in 1932. [6] This further strengthened MyBinding’s national reach while expanding Spiral’s e-commerce capabilities. In 2020, strategic investments by Hilltop Private Capital [7] bolstered MyBinding’s e-commerce presence and expanded its product portfolio to include broader print and finishing equipment and supplies.
Now, MyBinding operates a nationwide network of warehouses stocked with a comprehensive selection of binding and laminating supplies along with pack and ship, paper handling, and print finishing essentials. Additionally, MyBinding has a dedicated team of full-time service technicians who provide support for equipment maintenance and repair.
MyBinding is partnered with well-known vendors such as Bindomatic, General Binding Corporation and Coverbind along with hundreds of other top brands to provide a diverse range of products. The company’s distribution partnerships with industry leaders like ACCO Brands [8] further enhance these offerings.
