CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. · Tokyo Japan

CASIO COMPUTER wants a watch on every wrist and a handheld computer in every pocket. The firm makes a wide range of electronics for consumers, including calculators, mobile phones, digital cameras, portable TVs, watches, and musical keyboards. CASIO COMPUTER also manufactures computing and communications devices, like PDAs and electronic cash registers. The company likes to seek superlatives in its products: the G-Shock watch (1983) boasted that it was the toughest (able to survive a fall from a three-story building) and the EXILIM camera (2002) claimed to be the world's thinnest (roughly the size of a credit card). The three younger brothers of late founder Tadao Kashio continue to run CASIO COMPUTER. To read the full description, subscribe now.
