HP Computers and Printers

HP, or Hewlett-Packard, is a fundamental pillar of the global technology industry, originally founded in 1939 by Bill Hewlett and David Packard in Palo Alto, California. The brand began in a humble garage, which is now recognized as the 'Birthplace of Silicon Valley.' Over the decades, it evolved from a manufacturer of electronic test equipment into a leading global provider of personal computing devices, printers, and related accessories.

While the brand's innovation and design headquarters remain in the United States, manufacturing is highly decentralized. HP utilizes a vast global supply chain with production facilities and contract manufacturers located in multiple countries, including China, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Mexico, and Brazil. This worldwide distribution of manufacturing allows the company to serve regional markets efficiently and manage operational costs.

In 2015, the original Hewlett-Packard Company split into two separate entities: HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). HP Inc. retained the consumer-facing personal systems and printing business, continuing the legacy of the original brand name. Today, HP Inc. is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange, owned by a diverse group of institutional and individual shareholders, and it remains a global leader in its segment through continuous investment in sustainable technology and digital printing solutions.
