History of the company

The foundation of modern Brother was laid in 1908 in the Japanese city of Osaka by the ordinary citizen Kanekiti Yasui[2]

The company arose in a small family workshop on repair of sewing machines. Gradually business grew: in 1925 bartya Yasui - Dzitsuiti and Masayoshi - inherited business of the father and called Yasui Brothers' Sewing Machine Company. In a couple of years the company began to make straw hats, and in 7 years the first self-produced sewing machine was released. In 1934 the company was renamed into Nippon Sewing Machine Manufacturing Company – future Brother Industries, Ltd. In two years production grew five times, and sales growth caused the necessity of creation in 1941 of the whole new division – Brother Sales, Ltd.

Increase in production allowed brothers of Yasui to set the new task for itself - an exit to international market. The first delivery of the Japanese sewing machines took place in 1947 to Shanghai, and by 1959 export exceeded a symbolical mark of one million sewing machines. These years the Japanese company gradually mastered also a market niche of electric devices, new to itself: production of electric sewing machines, hair dryers, irons, vacuum cleaners, washers and other home appliances under a brand Brother, including portable typewriters began.

The first portable Brother typewriter appeared in 1961 – along with the beginning of construction of the new headquarters of the company in Nagoya. Same year the company accepted a name of the brand – Brother Industries Ltd. For read years export of Brother typewriters exceeded their "house" sales, and they became for those times the same reference product as transistor receivers of Sony or the Canon camera.

In 1966 the first portable electronic calculator from Brother was released, five years later the company created the next furor in the market, having created the first-ever high-speed matrix printer M-101, and in 1978 – the first P-14 typewriter with the letters grouped on a round head ("a ball for golf"). Next decade Brother developed production of the portable electronic printer on batteries.

"Globalization" of business of Brother was expressed in adoption in 1999 of the corporate Global charter (The Brother Group Global Charter) beginning words: "The main mission of Brother – to create and to quickly deliver to the consumer around the world products and services of excellent quality". And three years later the strategic plan of development of The Global Vision 21 in which three main strategic objectives of the company till 2012 are formulated was accepted: 1. Become the leading global high-profitable company; 2. Become the first-class producer using development of outstanding own technologies; 3. Make the advertizing slogan "On Your Party" a basis of all corporate culture.


In 2008 Brother noted the century. Printing devices (printers and multi-function printers) — the main direction on which the company is focused now. In the company 23,809 employees worldwide in 43 sales offices and 19 own plants[3] work[4]. In anniversary year turnover of the company in 9 months of 2008 financial year made $3.8 billion, and the share of sales of the company in Russia made, by different estimates, from 5% to 10%.
