Who Makes Zebra Barcode Scanners - A Brief About Zebra Technologies
Zebra Technologies is a globally respected provider of barcode scanners, printing solutions and mobile computing systems. It was incorporated in 1969 by Edward L. Kaplan and Gerhard Cless and is headquartered in Lincolnshire, Illinois, USA.
Zebra Technologies is renowned for its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction and its dedication to continuously pushing the boundaries of technology. The company has grown from its humble beginnings into one of the most successful companies in the industry, revolutionising how businesses operate.
In 1969, Zebra was established as Data Specialties with the mission of manufacturing high-speed electromechanical products. However, in 1982, the company decided to shift its focus and specialise in on-demand ticketing and labelling systems.
To reflect this new direction, the business rebranded to Zebra Technologies in 1986. After further developing its offerings and building a strong reputation, Zebra became a publicly-traded company in 1991.
How Did Zebra Enter the Barcode Scanner Market?
After becoming public in 1991, Zebra Technologies rapidly grew its product portfolio and influence through strategic mergers and acquisitions. The most prominent of these was the purchase of Motorola Solution’s Enterprise Division for $3.45 billion in 2014 after initially attempting to acquire it back in 2007.
Zebra’s acquisition of the Enterprise Division of Motorola Solutions also included the Symbol Technologies and Psion product lines.
Symbol Technologies was founded in 1975 and was a leading manufacturer of mobile data capture products such as barcode scanners, mobile computers, RFID systems and Wireless LAN infrastructure. Meanwhile, Psion was established in 1980 and was a leading designer and manufacturer of mobile handheld computers for commercial and industrial uses.
The combination of Zebra and Motorola Solutions’ Enterprise gave Zebra a competitive advantage in providing industry-leading mobile computing and data capture technology.
With over five decades of innovation, Zebra Technologies has become a truly global phenomenon. Their presence is seen in more than 170 countries around the world. They have established more than 128 offices globally and have an extensive network of channel partners (like Triton).
Zebra Technologies commitment to research and development has resulted in the acquisition of more than 6,000 patents. The company’s efforts and success have earned them a place on the Forbes Global 2000 (2022) at #1504 and Forbes America’s Best Midsize Employers (2022) at #79 rankings. Such recognition is a testament to Zebra Technologies’ commitment to pushing boundaries and maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction.
