Canon celebrates 50th year in Australia

 

In July, Canon Oceania celebrated its 50th anniversary in Australia and to mark the occasion, the company has released a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdHwkRJR4X0

 

The company’s roots date back to 1973 when it established a joint venture, Repco Canon in Melbourne focussed on the photocopier business.

 

In 1978, Canon Australia was established and shortly after relocated its headquarters to Sydney, where it began to manage all Canon products, expanding to imaging, which included cameras and printers.

 

The company later added to its operations Canon New Zealand and Canon Business Services, which has come to be known as Canon Oceania. Today, Canon Oceania Group employs 2400 people across 22 locations.
