Why Sharp

When it comes to the impact of technology on our businesses, change is the only constant. In fact, now more than ever, simple-to-use, up-to-date office technology can help remove any business barriers and create what we call the Simply Smarter Workplace. The aim of our Simply Smarter Workplace strategy is straightforward.

Accelerating collaboration

Improving efficiencies

Digitizing workflows

Increasing information security

Working smarter in the new normal

We find this mission to be even more critical as the universal need to share information feels challenged by the "new normal" of hybrid work, socially-distanced collaboration and productivity, and for most, safely returning to our workplaces.

Despite these challenges, we are convinced that the right technology, deployed in the right way, can not only bring success but keep us safe as well.

Our History

Sharp's founder Tokuji Hayakawa first invented the Snap Buckle in 1912. Three years later he invented the Sharp Mechanical Pencil, giving birth to our brand name.

This was the beginning of a successful history of innovative ideas and technology culminating in award-winning Sharp products. In 1962, Sharp Corporation established Sharp Electronics Corporation in the Americas and in 1972, we introduced our first copier. This was followed by an extensive document output line, which paved the way for our current line of products, including our multifunction printers, printers, professional displays, laptops and monitors.

In 2016, the world's largest electronics manufacturing services provider, Foxconn Technology Group, became a majority shareholder of Sharp Corporation. Foxconn is committed to technology innovation by investing in the research and development of future trends for its customers, such as artificial intelligence and the smart office.

Today, Sharp Corporation is recognized as one of the world's leading producers of technology for home and business environments.
