Description: Oce is a firm geared to provide printing and copying solutions that are readily available and are in the forms of hardware and software. This company’s base is in Netherlands. By manufacturing and selling reproduction machines and applications, the group has gained clients across the globe, holding its relative bases on twenty-five industrialized countries.

The overall Oce Group has been recorded to gross an average of 3.5 billion dollars every year. The company is a prominent firm that provides durable and updated equipment fit for corporate printing and reproduction purposes.

Lodewik van der Grinten, a chemist founded this firm. It has been a well known as a company since 1958, though the machine manufacturing business started back in 1877. During then, Oce is only a family business, centered on manufacturing coloring machines for margarine and butter. The early outputs of Oce during its early years were first supplied to coloring farmers, then later to the first factories that produced margarine. Oce had continued manufacturing the butter coloring machines until 1970.

The grandson of the Oce founder became interested in the blueprint process employed for creating technical illustrations on wide-format. Then the company has started to study, and then later successfully developed various document solutions, ranging from machines, which do no longer require adding of fluid in treating the paper surface, up to paper coating, which causes blueprint papers they use to last longer. The initial interest on blueprint grew further into the general document solutions, ranging from the first office copier until to its latest releases of printing and scanning devices.

Oce's current third of its income comes from its North American market. Oce has several development and research facilities based in a number of countries, including Germany, Canada and Japan. At present, Oce's competitors in providing printing and documenting solutions are Hewlett-Packard, Xerox, Ricoh and Canon. The copying technology that Oce perpetrates is different from the conventional xerographic reproduction. For this matter, Oce uses lesser electro-static charges within its printing machines.

Oce celebrated its 130th year of being in business on October 2007 by holding a symposium in Venlo, Netherlands. Also on the same year, Oce has established its official partnership with Fujifilm. The latter firm should be Oce's associate in marketing its OEM version of the Oce Arizona flatbed printer model 250 GT in Japan. It has also done several acquisitions with various companies in order to boost its current printing technologies on hand in different aspects, such as large-format display graphic printing, high-speed printing process and color printing improvement both for narrow and wide format.
