Exacompta
Paper Culture

Founded 80 years ago, Exacompta is part of the Exacompta Clairefontaine Group, the only vertically integrated manufacturing group in Europe managing the whole process from production of the raw materials right through to conversion and distribution of the finished filing products; setting it apart from its European competitors.


Care for the environment and sustainability are the driving forces behind the group's environmental policy and the fully audited processes are endorsed by:
• Blue Angel-certified 100% recycled ranges.
• Premium ranges from PEFC-certified sustainably managed forests.


Following the integration of the Multiform brand in 2007, Exacompta acquired over 35 years manufacturing experience in plastic injection moulding and specialises in the production of high quality desktop accessories like drawer sets, letter trays, magazine files etc… for use in offices at home or at work. Exacompta is a really environmentally friendly company, the factory is ISO14001 certified and many ranges are made using 100% recycled materials, Blue Angel certified.


In August 2008, Exacompta acquired UK manufacturer Tollit & Harvey and has transformed the business into a centre of excellence for filing products. From January 2011,Tollit & Harvey will have a new name, ExaClair Limited as it embraces full UK subsidiary status giving access to the entire group product portfolio of over 13,000 lines.


With 12 factories in Europe, Exacompta Clairefontaine is a leading brand in stationery, diaries and filing items. The Exacompta brand has the highest awareness rate in its market: 27% overall compared to 7% for top competitors.
