About Us
Officially incorporated in 1961, Ancom began when two young and idealistic Swiss immigrants scraped together $1,000 to start a company called Symatic, Inc. Their product was a production control system that consisted of a pouch-style file folder with a special plastic hanger suspended on an aluminum frame.
In 1963, a distraught dentist asked if the system could be adapted to organize a dental office, and a successful enterprise developed. In 1978 a company called Ancom joined forces with Symatic in order to cover a wider segment of the healthcare field, and the Ancom name was eventually adopted as the brand. The present building in Brunswick, Ohio was completed in 1988, and by the 1990s Ancom was well established as the premier cabinetmaker for the hanging files.
Eventually, new product lines such as end-tab filing products and steel shelving were added. Still owned by one of the two Swiss entrepreneurs and his family, Ancom has adapted to the current needs of all types of businesses that use and store paper records.
