El Casco was founded in 1920 in the Basque Country of Northern Spain as a manufacturer of revolvers. During the Great Depression the owners were driven to diversify into additional products, and in 1934 they began the production of the distinctive stapler M-5. Today, El Casco provides 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.
