In 1994 Marvin Whiteman, former owner of Whiteman Industries was approached to design a part for a table top paper punch machine. Marvin and his team had a history and passion for building tough high performance products. They had designed and built race cars and motorcycles. Marvin and his team felt they could design a better, more flexible and efficient family of paper punches. So together they started Performance Design, Inc. and built their first table top punch with interchangeable dies called the Versa Punch.
Soon thereafter they realized customers wanted more flexibility to add modules to decrease the time it took them to punch and stack documents, and modules to address the binding of documents with plastic coil, double loop wire or comb.
