Casio was founded on June 1, 1946, by Tadao Kashio in Mitaka, Tokyo, Japan. Initially, the company started as Kashio Seisakujo, a small subcontractor factory. It later evolved into Casio Computer Co., Ltd., officially established in 1957.
The company gained prominence with its innovative electronic products, including calculators, watches, and musical instruments. Casio’s introduction of the world’s first compact all-electric calculator in 1957 marked a significant milestone in its history, setting the stage for its future success in the electronics industry.
