Casio

A brief introduction of how the business started.

It all started when we said to ourselves, “Let’s build our own calculator—one that can do things that people only dream of now.”Back then, the world’s calculators were all mechanical; they actually used gears to crunch the numbers. So they set out to create a device that could perform calculations using only electrical circuits. 

It took seven years, but at last the world had its first small, fully electric calculator—we called it the 14-A—and Casio Computer Co., Ltd., was born.
