Discover where a brand or product originates
Canon is a globally recognized Japanese leader in imaging and optical products. Originally founded in 1933 as the Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory, the brand has grown into a multinational powerhouse with a diverse manufacturing footprint. Canon's toner and ink cartridges are produced in several key regions including Japan (at specialized plants like Nagahama Canon), the United States (Canon Virginia), France (Canon Bretagne), and China (Canon Dalian), ensuring localized supply chains for its global customer base.
Sustainability is a core pillar of the brand's operations, as evidenced by its pioneering toner cartridge recycling program launched in 1990. This closed-loop recycling process recovers high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) and other raw materials to manufacture new products, aiming for zero waste to landfill. Today, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Canon Inc., headquartered in Tokyo, and operates through various regional subsidiaries like Canon Europe to manage distribution and environmental initiatives across over 100 countries.
