The History of Xerox

Xerox Corporation was founded in 1906 as The Haloid Photographic Company and became famous for its xerographic copying technology. The company's 914 copier, introduced in 1959, revolutionized office document reproduction and made Xerox a household name. Despite early dominance in photocopying, Xerox later faced challenges adapting to the digital era and competition from Japanese manufacturers.
