Background and Identification
Sharp is a consumer electronics company that was founded in 1912. The company is headquartered in Japan and employs more than 50,000 people. Sharp sells a variety of consumer products, including air purifiers, dishwashers, refrigerators, microwave ovens, steam ovens, convection wall ovens, televisions, and more. The company name comes from one of the founder’s first inventions: the Ever-Sharp mechanical pencil. The Ever-Sharp mechanical pencil was invented in 1915, but the pencil business was destroyed by the Great Kantō earthquake in 1923. This caused the company to relocate and begin its consumer electronics journey.
