Swiss Bookbinders' and Carton Makers' Union
The Swiss Bookbinders' and Carton' Makers' Union (German: Schweizerischer Buchbinder- und Kartonagerverband, SBKV; French: Fédération suissse des relieurs et cartonniers) was a trade union representing bookbinders, stationers and box makers in Switzerland.
The union was founded on 9 June 1889, in Zürich,[1] as the Swiss Bookbinders' Union, and in 1893, it joined the Swiss Trade Union Federation.[2] It also joined the International Federation of Bookbinders and Kindred Trades, and by 1922, it had 1,266 members.[3] In 1943, it adopted its final name,[2] and by 1954, its membership had risen to 4,465.[4]
In 1980, the SBKV merged with the Swiss Typographers' Union, to form the Union of Printing and Paper.[2]
