Brother

Brand Description

The history of Brother Industries dates back to 1908 when it was founded in Nagoya, Japan, by Kanekichi Yasui as the Yasui Sewing Machine Company. Originally, the company started as a manufacturer of sewing machines, which laid the foundation for its reputation for precision engineering. Over the decades, Brother diversified its product lineup, moving into typewriter and printer technology by the mid-20th century. Brother's expansion into the electronics industry during the 1960s and 1970s marked a significant transformation for the company. By the 1980s, Brother began producing electronic typewriters and dot matrix printers, tapping into the burgeoning demand for office equipment. The introduction of its laser and inkjet printers in the 1990s positioned Brother as a key player in the global printer market. Today, Brother continues to lead and innovate, with its products being sold in over 40 countries worldwide, maintaining its status as a beloved and trusted brand in technology.
