Historical Context
The huge American Bank Note Company was formed from an association of seven competing companies in 1858 (Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson; Toppan, Carpenter & Co; Danforth, Perkins & Co; Bald, Cousland & Co; Jocelyn, Draper, Welsh & Co; Wellstood, Hay & Whiting; John E. Gavit). In 1879, it merged with the National Bank Note Company and the Continental Bank Note Company. In 1911, it merged with the United Bank Note Company. These acquisitions and mergers continued as the ABN became the largest producer of financial paper in the world.
The American Bank Note Company was formed in 1879 by consolidation of the American Bank Note Company, the National Bank Note Company and the Continental Bank Note Company. The company later merged with the United Bank Note Corporation in 1911 and continued to operate as American Bank Note Company.
Later, ABN became a subsidiary of the United States Banknote Corporation, a holding company. USBN changed its name back to the American Banknote Corporation and subsequently spun off the American Bank Note Holographics Company in 1998 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 1999.
