Founded in 1912, Sharp has had a long history with its origins as a small metal workshop in Tokyo to where the multi-national company is today. The company derived its name from the invention of a mechanical pencil named the "Ever-Sharp Pencil" that took the world by storm in 1915. Since then, Sharp is dedicated to using its unique and innovative technology to contribute to the culture, benefits, and welfare of the people throughout the world.
