Job Description
Description : Company Overview :
Samsill's history of the company traces back to a cornfield south of Seymour, Texas, in 1941. It was officially formed as the dream of two young brothers. Cecil and Tirey Samsill, two of twenty-three children, decided “there must be a better way to make a living” while working the fields one hot summer day, and made a solemn vow right then and there that when they grew up, they would go into business together.
Samsill started as Samsill Brothers Plastic Company; the first products were folded and sewn by hand and included shop cardholders, menu covers, and protectors of all sizes. Over the years, the company evolved into Samsill Corporation and expanded its product offerings. Today, Samsill is the only manufacturer of ring binders in the United States. Samsill is regarded for quality and innovative office organization solutions through a wide product selection including binders, padfolios, professional business accessories, and much more.
