The History of Canon

Established in 1933 by Goro Yoshida and Saburo Uchida, Canonbegan as company called Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory. In thecompany’s beginnings, their major goal was to develop a 35mm camera. In 1934,the Kwanon camera was released yet it never actually hit the marketplace.

Due to their inability to develop a lens of their own, thePrecision Optical Instruments Laboratory used one from Nippon Kogaku Kogyo, thepredecessor company of Nikon Corporation. Three years following the initialstart up of the company, the Hansa Canon was released in 1936 to the public.The following year, Canon as we know it today was founded.

Nowadays, Canon makes cameras, printers, copiers and manyother office products and their most profitable area involves the sale ofdigital copiers for offices. It’s funny because most people think of theircameras before their office products, but numbers don’t lie!

Besides its current financial strongholds, Canon is stillventuring out into new avenues all the time. They are currently forging aheadinto the digital display field and have since bought the shares Toshiba had ina joint venture for the manufacture of flat panel television screens.
