Canon is Japan's
Canon Corporation
Japan's large monopoly of cameras, copiers and other electronic products. Its predecessor was Precision Optics Industrial Company established in August 1937, which produced 35mm cameras under the Canon trademark. In the 1960s, the product range began to be expanded. In the 1970s, the world's first fully automatic camera and high-definition copier production line was launched. Canon has developed into a large-scale comprehensive enterprise that comprehensively produces excellent products in many fields such as office, communications, precision optics, and precision chemistry. The company is headquartered in Tokyo. It also has subsidiaries or production enterprises in the United States, the Federal Republic of Germany and other countries, manufacturing copiers, and producing or assembling electronic computers. Canon's trademarks are registered in more than 130 countries.
Canon’s China business started after China decided to adopt the reform and opening up policy as a basic national policy. When the late Zhou Enlai’s wife, Ms. Deng Yingchao, visited our company in 1979, she requested support for the recovery of China’s precision industry. . In the following year, 1980, President He Lai (currently the honorary president) paid a goodwill visit to Beijing.
Subsequently, in 1984, technical cooperation (domestic assembly and production) contracts were signed with Zhanjiang Copier Industry Company and Tianjin Copier Equipment Co., Ltd.
The investment in China began in 1988 with the establishment of Beijia Information Technology Co., Ltd. as a joint venture with Peking University Founder (Peking University). This kicked off Canon's investment in China.
In 1989 and 1990, it invested and established 100% wholly-owned large-scale production enterprises, Canon Dalian Office Equipment Co., Ltd. and Canon Zhuhai Co., Ltd., both of which are 100% export-oriented. With the mission of providing Canon products to the world market.
In 1994, the head office handed over the management of the Chinese market to Canon Hong Kong Co., Ltd.
As of 1995, Canon's business in China was still limited to the production field, and it only existed as a production base of Canon.
With the growth of the Asian economy, Asia's position in Canon's business plan has become increasingly important. In 1995, Canon formulated the "10% Asia Share Plan" (this plan requires that, except for Japan, Sales in Oceania and Asia increased to 10% of total global sales). At the same time, Canon gradually realized the importance of China, a potentially huge market, and revised its long-term strategy for business development in China. In the same year, Canon International Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. was established as a sole proprietorship in Shanghai, and Guangdong United Optical Instrument Co., Ltd. was established as a joint venture in Dongguan.
Canon International Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. is a spare parts center that provides after-sales service accessories for Canon products in the Chinese market. It is located in the Pudong Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, allowing the spare parts needed by the Chinese market to be more available. Faster and more timely supply. This has changed the situation in the past that when importing spare parts through Chinese trading companies with import rights, the delivery period was long and the supply exceeded demand.
Then, in order to strengthen its strength in the Chinese market, Canon (China) Co., Ltd. (umbrella company) was established in China in 1997. This company is a local legal person. Since its establishment, it has been responsible for all future investment business in China on behalf of Canon Corporation.
In 1997, Canon (China) Co., Ltd. invested and established Tianjin Canon Co., Ltd. as a joint venture with Tianjin Copying Equipment Co., Ltd. The original technical cooperation method was changed to direct investment and factory establishment, thereby improving the production and sales system of copiers in the Chinese market.
In 1998, according to the term of the 10-year joint venture contract, the cooperation with Beijia Information Technology Co., Ltd., a joint venture with Peking University Founder (Peking University), was successfully concluded. In the same year, Canon (China) Co., Ltd. reinvested and jointly established a software development company, Beijing Beijia Information Systems Co., Ltd., which added research and development to Canon's business in China.
In addition, Canon (China) Co., Ltd. also changed the equity of Guangdong United Optical Instrument Co., Ltd. and made additional investments in Canon Dalian and Canon Zhuhai.
In short, companies based on the concept of "first-class students", Japan and China work together to develop and produce Canon's advanced high-tech products, create employment opportunities through technology transfer, and are contributing to China's modernization and Contributing to economic development
