SATO Corporation, Japan, was established in 1940 to manufacture and sell packaging machinery. In 1962,
SATO invented the world's first hand-held labeler and operations as an international supplier of labeling ma-
chinery began. SATO America, US subsidiary was established in 1977 and eventually became SATO Ameri-
ca, Inc. in 1987.
Since SATO's 1979 introduction of the world's first thermal transfer barcode printer, Model 2311, SATO has
continued to be in the forefront of thermal printing technologies. Barcodes have proven to be a medium for
inputting information that satisfies all requirements, including high reading speed, incomparable accuracy, and
low cost. Barcodes have therefore gone into widespread use in a variety of business sectors. Recognizing
this, SATO Corporation has developed barcode solutions for a wide spectrum of markets and applications.
SATO acquired Argox Information Co., Ltd. in 2011, making Argox a member of the SATO Group of Compa-
nies and expanding the availability of Argox products globally.
Today, SATO continues its tradition of designing and manufacturing high quality industrial printers, which de-
liver reliable performance with each print job.
