Casio desktop calculators turn 60
Muscat – Casio, the Japanese electronics brand known for its pioneering desktop calculators, marked 60 years since the launch of its first model with a celebration hosted by Al Nahar Group at Grand Millennium Muscat Hotel on Tuesday.
Introduced in 1965, Casio's first desktop calculator became a fixture in businesses worldwide. Six decades on, it remains a trusted tool for offices, classrooms, and homes.
The event brought together more than 200 retailers, partners, clients, and corporate representatives.
Shimada Koji, General Manager of Casio's Education Business Division, said the celebration was as much about partnerships as it was about the product's history. 'Oman has been a valued partner in this journey, and we look forward to shaping the future together. Since 1965, Casio has been at the forefront of innovation, blending advanced technology with sleek design. Our desktop calculators have transformed offices, classrooms, and businesses around the world,' he said.
Koji acknowledged the challenges calculators face in the smartphone era but emphasised their reliability and capability for complex tasks. 'They remain more professional and dependable for large calculations. In January next year, we will launch new models that are more stylish, colourful, and faster in performance,' he added.
The anniversary served as a networking platform for industry stakeholders, underlining Casio's continued commitment to quality, reliability and innovation.
