KYOCERA Document Solutions traces its origin to a business founded in 1934, which evolved into a joint-stock company in 1948. The company manufactured and sold diazo printers (blue-line printers), and later shifted to commercial-use multifunction printers (MFPs) for a worldwide market. In 2000, the company joined with the KYOCERA Group, and in 2002, merged with the printer business of KYOCERA Corporation. Since then, the combined MFP and printer technologies enabled us to produce environment-friendly products. In recent years, our full lineup of document equipment and advanced software technology has allowed us to provide worldwide customers with total document solutions to support their businesses.
