Early Years of Brother Printer Company: Brief History
There are so many printer companies in the world today that it is difficult to keep track of them. More and more companies are exploring the opportunities thrown open by the increasing demand for printers and are coming out with new models promising better quality and reliability. However, there are some companies who have done pioneering work in terms of printing technology and have been there throughout the course of the printer history. The Brother Printer Company is one such manufacturer who has always been associated with high quality printers.
The Brother Industries
Brother Industries Ltd is a Japanese company that produces a diverse range of products including label printers, printers, Brother multifunction printers, machine tools, sewing machines, typewriters and many other computer related electronics. In the world of printers the Brother Printer Company is known for its quality, reliability, and efficacy of its printer models and the company has gravitated from distributing various printers under OEM agreement with other companies to distributing products under its own name. Today the Brother Printer Company is as big a name as many of its contemporaries in the market like HP, Canon, and various others.
Early History
An interesting fact to note is that the Brother Printer Company did not start out as a printer company. It was a company that started out manufacturing sewing machines in 1908. Back in the those days the company went by the name of Yasui Sewing Machine Co. and was founded by Kanekichi Yasui in Nagoya, Japan. In 1934, the company changed its name to Nippon Sewing Machine Manufacturing Co.
Growth and Printers
In the 1950s the company began to call itself the Brother International Corporation and started the overseas export of their sewing machines. They were very successful in this regard and have been credited with many advances in the sphere of knitting machines and home appliances during this time. However, it was not until 1971 that the semblance of the Brother Printer Company came into being when they created the revolutionary new high-speed dot matrix printers.
In early 2003, the Brother Printer Company brought out its multi-function devices into the market. These were printing devices and over time these Brother printers have been widely appreciated. When it comes to printers and printer ink cartridges sales, the Brother Printer Company is widely regarded as one of the front runners.
A Brief Timeline of Brother Printers
It was in 1971 that the Brother Printer Company launched the worlds first high speed dot matrix printers. In the year 1985 the UK arm of Brother Industries started the production of electronic typewriters. In 2003, the China based, Shenzhen, arm of Brother Industries started the production of multi-function products including printers.
