About: Smith Corona

An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Smith Corona is an American manufacturer of thermal labels, direct thermal labels, and thermal ribbons used in warehouses for primarily barcode labels. Once a large U.S. typewriter and mechanical calculator manufacturer, it expanded aggressively during the 1960s to become a broad-based industrial conglomerate whose products extended to paints, foods, and paper. The mechanical calculator sector was wiped out in the early 1970s by the production of cheap electronic calculators, and the typewriter business collapsed in the mid-1980s due to the introduction of PC-based word processing.

dbo:abstract
  • Smith Corona est un fabricant américain d'étiquettes et de rubans thermiques utilisés dans les entrepôts pour les étiquettes à codes-barres principalement, connue en particulier pour ses machines à écrire. C'était un grand fabricant de machines à écrire et de calculatrices mécaniques aux États-Unis. Issu de la fusion et de rachats successifs d'entreprises, Smith Corona s'est développé surtout au cours des années 1960 pour devenir un conglomérat industriel de grande envergure dont les produits s'étendaient aux peintures, aux aliments et au papier. Le secteur des calculatrices mécaniques a été anéanti au début des années 1970 par la production de calculatrices électroniques bon marché, et l'activité de la machine à écrire s'est effondrée au milieu des années 1980 en raison de l'introduction du traitement de texte sur ordinateur personnel.

The mechanical calculator sector was wiped out in the early 1970s by the production of cheap electronic calculators, and the typewriter business collapsed in the mid-1980s due to the introduction of PC-based word processing. Smith Corona addressed this by manufacturing word processing typewriters such as PWP 1400 model. Its competitors were Brother, Olivetti, Adler, Olympia and IBM. In late 2010, Smith Corona entered the industrial ribbon and label market. The company no longer manufacturers typewriters or calculators, but does manufacture large quantities of barcode and shipping labels and thermal ribbons used in thermal transfer printers. Their facility is in Cleveland, Ohio. Smith Corona now competes with distributors of Zebra Technologies supplies, packaging companies like Uline and various other private companies. (en)
