Omron

Omron began in 1933 in Kyoto, Japan, when Kazuma Tateisi founded the company that later became Omron Corporation. The name comes from Omuro, the Kyoto district where it started.

Omron Healthcare launched its first blood pressure monitor in 1973, introduced the world's first wrist blood pressure monitor in 1985, and has sold more than 200 million blood pressure monitors worldwide.
