Info: Japan's attainment of her level of economic prosperity is deeply gratifying to those industrial leaders who, faced with the aftermath of World War II, were charged with the task of recovery.
This period has also seen CASIO grow tremendously. Since CASIO was founded in June 1957, as one of the only manufacturers in Japan concentrating entirely on the calculator field,
it has continued to leave its character impressed on the industry. A fully electrical calculator, incorporating calculating relays which CASIO made public at the time of its incorporation,
was a totally new invention based on a unique set of principles. It thus attracted great interest and customer popularity both as a discrete unit and in combination with a typewriter.
In 1965, with the dawn of the age of electronics, CASIO scored an international first with the introduction of the Type 001 electronic desk calculator with a memory capability.

and have advanced to large scale integration.

with the result that CASIO's sales were equally divided between the domestic and export markets. In 1972 CASIO developed the most powerful sales network in Japan.
It comprised 28 sales offices nationwide which supported network of dealers
Foreign markets were approached through distributors, while the establishment CASIO Europe, a German Sales Office, and a Service Center in Europe,
and a sales company, incorporated in New York for the North American. To further improve service, technicians were stationed in a number of cities in Europe and the United States.
