In 1949, the business moved from downtown Los Angeles to Glendale where it transformed from an air conditioning distributor to become an independent corporation. After 70 years in Glendale, ACCO moved to its headquarters to 888 East Walnut Street in Pasadena. Jeffrey Marrs became ACCO’s fifth President & CEO in 2016.
