For over 30 years, PenceOhio Company has manufactured vinyl and leather
binders in Ohio. We guarantee satisfaction with our products and stand
behind everything we make and sell.
What we do
We
manufacture our products solely in Springfield, OH, using advanced
techniques that generate exceptional results. We use only the finest
materials in what we make. Personalized imprints are created using
special-order metal-dyes as a foil-stamp, deboss, or silk-screen. Each
product is personally inspected for quality to ensure customer satisfaction.
History
In 1975, Bill Pence, our owner and president, purchased L.O. White, a small
bindery in Coshocton, OH, from 83 year-old Leo White for approximately
$7,000. L.O. White primarily produced custom leather products on a small
scale, and had been in business since 1917.

A changing economy combined with improved technology prompted a shift from
primarily making leather goods to manufacturing custom vinyl products. This
allowed for mass production and an increased market share in the United
States. For example, PenceOhio Company worked with Mead® to develop and
produce the Cambridge™ line of binder products.
1980 marked a big change for PenceOhio Company in many ways. The company
purchased Universal Leather (also called Universal Check Cover Company),
located in Springfield OH. Bill Pence proceeded to move the company 125
miles west to the new location. As business increased, larger space for
manufacturing and inventory was needed, and the company moved to its present
location in 1982.
With the introduction of the Career Passport by the Ohio Board of Education,
PenceOhio Company entered this market in 1995. Since then we have
manufactured and sold over 2 million Career Portfolios/Passports to high
schools and students across the country.
Companies across the country, including members of the Fortune 500, use our
binder products in their businesses each day. Some of these products
include zippered binders for executives, special-order display cases for
sales people, and padfolios to give to customers or clients.
Current & Future
PenceOhio Company is committed to manufacturing quality products tailored to
the needs and desires of our customers. As a small company, we have the
flexibility to make small orders and design new or custom products.
But we also have the capability to meet the needs of your agency, no matter
how large the order. We look
forward to working with you in the future.
