Graphtec Corporation was established in Tokyo in 1949. The company was formed to specialize in the design and manufacture of analog recording instruments, and released its first product in 1952. Graphtec rapidly became an industry leader, both in Japan and around the world.
The company was quick to venture into new fields, and introduced its first plotter in 1961. With the growth of computing in the 1960's, Graphtec branched out into computer aided design (CAD), and today offers a wide range of computer input devices, such as digitizers and scanners, and output devices such as direct imaging plotters and cutting plotters for the sign and apparel industries.
Graphtec's corporate philosophy emphasizes the pride every member takes in the company's products. The pride comes through at all stages, from preliminary planning and design to final delivery. This commitment to quality does not stop at the factory door. It extends to services and customer-support personnel around the world, because Graphtec never forgets what is at stake every time you choose one of its products: every single time, Graphtec's standing as an innovator, pace-setter, and market leader is on the line.
Graphtec proudly acknowledges its standing as a world leader in technology. Through its subsidiaries and a global network of distributors, Graphtec products are exported to over 40 countries worldwide. All this has been built on Graphtec's many competitive strenghts - product features, performance, compatibility and price.
