You might be (G-)shocked to learn how many products Casio America sells. As the US subsidiary of Japanese electronics giant CASIO COMPUTER, the firm markets products ranging from handheld computers and calculators to electronic keyboards and its popular G-Shock and Oceanus watch lines. Established in 1957, Casio also makes and markets cell phones, digital cameras, label printers, clocks, portable TVs, and other items. Going beyond the consumer market, Casio targets the retail, hospitality, and industrial markets (cash registers and industrial handheld PDAs). And to make sure that young consumers remember its name, the company also sells to the education market.
