THE HISTORY OF CANON
Canon Inc.has a history dating back nearly a decade. With its roots in Tokyo, the world’s largest camera manufacturer was originally formed in 1933 as Precision Optical Industry Co. Ltd., a small Tokyo workshop that was operated by Goro Yoshida. Canon’s history is as diverse, innovative, and adaptive as one could imagine with fascinating transitions over the next 80+ years that would bring this small company into a world dominant, camera and videography, powerhouse.

Early beginnings for Canon were established in Tokyo in 1933. The opening of Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory, founded for the purpose of conducting effective research into precision camera equipment, was just 1 year prior to the first 35mm prototype that the company released known as the Kwanon. Precision Instruments would apply for the Canon trademark 1 year later in 1935.
Over the next 50 + years Canon products including the production of the Serenar Lens and Japan’s first X-ray camera as well as several focal-plane-shutter 35mm cameras would take place in their engineering locations in Japan. Several firsts took place between the inception of the Canon trademark in 1934 and the completion of the company’s main factor, the Toride Plant is completed in 1961, including:
● 1949 – Canon’s first introduction of shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
● 1949 – Canon’s first national camera exhibition win in San Francisco for the Canon II B.
● 1952 – The world’s first speed-light synchronized 35mm flash-and-shutter camera, Canon IVsb, is released.
