Bindery Matters

Spiel Celebrates Its Golden Anniversary

Long Island City, NY—Spiel Associates was founded by Norton Spiel in 1963. At the time, the company only sold drill bits and a nipping machine. He eventually brought in drills, collators, perfect binders and, later, punching equipment. As a trained engineer, he began designing his own machines. From there, Spiel Associates developed the world's first automatic plastic coil binder, The Coilmaster, as well as the Sterling Punchmaster and Digipunch.
