Star Micronics, founded in 1947 in Japan, began as a precision instrument maker before shifting to calculators and typewriters. In the 1970s, it entered the point-of-sale (POS) market with electronic cash registers and soon became a leader in receipt and label printing. Known for quality and innovation, Star expanded its product line to include printers, cash drawers, and mobile solutions.
