Canon is a leading technology company, founded in 1937, dedicated to helping people
reimagine and push the boundaries of
what is possible through imaging.
Our continuous innovation has kept us at the forefront of imaging excellence throughout our
80-year history. This has
enabled us to develop industry-leading technology, supporting the future demands of
photographers, videographers, office
workers, professional printers, medical imaging experts and more.
We utilise imaging technologies and go beyond the rich line-up of our existing products to
cultivate new areas of
business where our imaging technology can expand the limits of what is possible. This
reaches into satellite
development, medical advancements, growing the possibilities of print and industrial
equipment and network video
cameras, which contribute towards building smart cities. Canon’s core strength in optical
and imaging technology is also
contributing to advances in astronomy.
By constantly tackling new challenges, we firmly believe that we can uphold our corporate
philosophy of “Kyosei” which
