Canon Printers and Cameras

Canon is a global leader in imaging and optical products, including cameras, camcorders, photocopiers, and computer printers. Originally founded in Japan in the 1930s as Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory, the company has grown into a multinational powerhouse.

Today, Canon products are manufactured in various locations across the globe to meet international demand. While high-end lenses and professional camera bodies are often still produced in Japan, the company maintains significant manufacturing facilities in China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam for its consumer-grade electronics and office equipment.

Canon Inc. remains an independent, publicly traded Japanese corporation and is the ultimate owner of the brand. It operates via a vast network of regional subsidiaries such as Canon U.S.A., Inc. and Canon Europe, ensuring a localized presence in nearly every major market.
