Heritage and History

Thomas Briggs founded the Boston Wire Stitcher Company in 1896 in East Greenwich, Rhode Island to manufacture wire-stitching machines for bookbinders. The technology quickly expanded to other fastening applications, and the company — eventually renamed Bostitch — became America's leading manufacturer of industrial stapling tools.

Bostitch invented the portable stapling machine, the first hand-held hammer stapler, and numerous other innovations that defined modern fastening technology. The company is now part of Stanley Black and Decker but maintains its Rhode Island manufacturing heritage. Office staplers, heavy-duty commercial staplers, and pneumatic nailers all trace their lineage to that original East Greenwich wire stitcher.

Made in Rhode Island

Bostitch's East Greenwich, Rhode Island facility has been the center of American stapling and fastening technology for more than a century. The manufacturing process involves precision metalworking to produce the spring mechanisms, jaw assemblies, and feed systems that make stapling reliable and consistent at high volume.

The Bostitch B8 stapler series, produced in Rhode Island, became the standard office stapler that defined workplace expectations for capacity and reliability. For offices and industrial applications alike, Bostitch remains the benchmark against which other fastening tools are measured — a direct result of 125 years of American manufacturing refinement in East Greenwich.
