Casio is a renowned Japanese multinational electronics manufacturing corporation headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo. The brand was founded in 1946 by Tadao Kashio, an engineer who specialized in fabrication technology. Casio is globally recognized for its innovation in the field of electronics, notably producing the world's first entirely electric compact calculator in 1957. In the watch industry, it gained immense popularity with its early digital watches and the iconic G-Shock series, which revolutionized the market by combining durability with high-tech functionality.
While the brand's heritage is firmly rooted in Japan, Casio's manufacturing processes are distributed globally to optimize production and logistics. Most Casio watches are produced across several designated facilities in Japan, China, and Thailand. High-end models often carry the 'Made in Japan' label, signifying production at their Yamagata premium factory, while other segments of their vast catalog are manufactured in their ISO-certified hubs in China and Thailand to meet global demand.
Casio remains an independent company, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It operates under its original corporate identity, Casio Computer Co., Ltd. The brand continues to lead the horology market by merging traditional watchmaking with modern digital advancements, maintaining its reputation for reliability, affordability, and technological prowess. Ownership has remained consistent with the founding corporate entity, ensuring the brand stays true to its core values of 'creativity and contribution.'
