Swingline was founded in 1925 in New York City by Jack Linsky.  At that time, it was known as the Parrot Speed Fastener Company and opened its first manufacturing facility in Long Island City in 1931.  Eight years later the company changed its name to Speed Products and created the first top-opening stapler, allowing easy refilling of a full strip of staples. This design eventually became the industry standard.  In 1956, the company was renamed Swingline.
