OCÉ HISTORY
Océ history goes back to 1857 in Venlo, The Netherlands, when the company
began in the pharmaceutical industry as a family owned and operated
company. In 1919, the company entered the copier market by starting the
production of blueprint material. In 1931, a new technology called the semi-
dry process was marketed under the name of Océ; the Océ name is an
abbreviation of "Ohne Componente," which means "without components." In
the 1960s, the demand for office copier systems grew rapidly, and Océ
focused its attention on plain paper copying, for which there was a large
demand in offices. In 1973, the first plain paper copier equipment was
introduced: the Océ 1700. In 1983, Océ introduced its first equipment for
copying large-format originals on plain paper, the Océ 7500.
In 1995, Océ introduced its first digital high-volume printer/copier for office
environments and for technical documentation in wide format. Since the
1990s, Océ has also marketed a line of wide-format monochrome scanners
followed by wide-format color scanners ranging from 36- to 54-inches wide
scanning capability.
