History

Raimund Beck GmbH&Company was founded in 1904 by Karl Beck, a pioneer in the staple manufacturing field. Under his leadership, decisive contributions were made in connection technology. His son, Raimund Beck, continued this technology in the form of collated fastening products such as book binding staples.

Günther Beck's third generation leadership of the Beck Group has seen expansion into tool manufacturing in Italy, where Fasco S.p.A. produces both Fasco and Rainco branded nailers, staplers, bradders, and pinners. Further expansion of the organization came through additional acquisitions. The North American distribution arm for all Beck products is Fasco America, Inc. located in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The Beck Group's umbrella now also includes Empire Products, Inc. - a Fasco America division, which also features WindStrips® roofing products.
