The Tarifold success story began
in 1954. From day one, the idea of organizing, protecting,
and displaying information with steel-wired reinforced pockets
was widely accepted. In just 10 years, the number of pockets
produced grew tenfold. And in 1978, Tarifold joined CENTRA,
France's leading filing systems manufacturer. This produced
a dramatic growth in Tarifold's export business. Customers
around the world responded enthusiastically to Tarifold’s
clever design, which combined simplicity and operating ease.
During the
eighties, some feared the Tarifold concept wouldn't stand
up to the proliferation of personal computers and the paperless
office. But Tarifold products prevailed, proving to be an
invaluable asset to anyone with or without a PC. So much so,
that sales not only increased, but in 1994, Tarifold became
a subsidiary of LEITZ, the German office supplies manufacturer.

 As
Yves Revenu, CEO, remarked, "In the beginning,
Tarifold managed to create its market by identifying a special
need and fulfilling it with an innovative product. Today,
we need to deliver innovation even faster to stay ahead
of our competitors. We're in the lead now, and we'll stay
there as long as our products remain innovative and deliver
the promise of increased productivity.”
That's why Tarifold, along with its subsidiaries in the
USA and Sweden, is keeping its focus on quality, customer
service and product innovation. These efforts have not gone
unnoticed as evidenced by our most recent success—the 2002
International Stationery Press Association award presented
at the Paperworld fair.
A global vision
Tarifold currently exports 70%
of its sales throughout Europe, North America, Mexico, Japan
and China! Add our new web site, and participation in the
world's most important stationery fairs, and Tarifold is
truly establishing itself as a global supplier of high-efficiency
paper organization products.

In
1997, Tarifold seized this growth opportunity to expand its
manufacturing facility. A year later, Tarifold joined the
Esselte group, the world's number 1 office supplies manufacturer
to reinforce its worldwide distribution network.
Today, Tarifold has regained
its independence. The company now freely controls its expansion
with the same innovation that pioneered its success nearly
half a century ago.
