History
Established in 1998, with roots spanning back as far as 1932, MyBinding started as a small family-owned business in Hillsboro, Oregon. Co-founded by father and son{{Cite web |last=Oregonian/OregonLive |first=Andrew Theen {{!}} The |date=2012-05-10 |title=Hillsboro biz buzz: The outside the binding thinkers at MyBinding.com |url=https://www.oregonlive.com/hillsboro/2012/05/hillsboro_biz_buzz_the_innovat.html |access-date=2024-12-18 |website=oregonlive |language=en}} duo Michael and Cory Ware, the company was created not only to bring a focus to the value of the customer in the binding industry but to bring the family together with work close to home.
The company began to find major success when a leader within the community, Jeff McRitchie, offered to build the team a website in 2004. The website proved pivotal in MyBinding’s growth leading Ritchie to become the Vice President of Marketing.
