Company Information
Founded in 1983, Wacom has established itself as the leader in the world market for pen tablets and a pioneer in the development of the pen as a computer input device. This success has evolved from a more fundamental and original vision in Wacom to make our computing environment more natural, so the power of computer technology can be used more flexibly, and for a wider variety of applications. Wacom's current product range is based on its patented electromagnetic technology (‘penabled’ technology) which is the key to cordless, battery-less and pressure sensitive computer input devices that have become standard equipment for a large section of the graphics design community, both professional and amateur. This ingenious technology, coupled with attention to design quality, functionality and ergonomic detail, are the major factors which have contributed to the company's considerable success in the European, North American and Asian pen tablet markets. The European headquarter of Wacom is based in Krefeld Germany. Wacom has local sales, also local offices in central europe and distribution agreements that provides the product availability in EMEA.
