History
Dymo Industries, Inc. was founded in 1958 to produce handheld tools that use embossing tape.[1] The embossing tape and handheld plastic embossing labeler was invented by David Souza from Oakland, California.[2]
Dymo was acquired by Esselte in 1978,[3] and battery-powered printers became a major product after 1990. On June 1, 1998, CoStar Corporation, the manufacturer of the LabelWriter brand of thermal label printers, was acquired by Esselte Office Products.
