Xerox can trace their roots back more than 100 years to their founding in 1906 in Rochester, New York. At the time, Xerox was called The Haloid Photographic Company, and they originally manufactured photographic paper and equipment for developing photographs. However, in 1938, an independent physicist was looking for a process for printing images using an electrically charged photoconducter and coated metal plate - which today would be known as a toner. However, it would take several decades before this technology was commercialized. The person that was credited with the founding of Xerox was Joseph C. Wilson. He took over the original company from his father and saw promise in the work of this physicist in 1946 and then began to develop a commercial product.

Xerox now provides office printers, copiers for educational institutions, production printers, multifunction printers, wide format printers, projectors, scanners, and various other office equipment as well as document solutions and services. They are a publicly traded company with reported revenue of $10.19 billion in 2017 and revenue per share reported at $40.01.
