IBM celebrates a century of innovation and transformation
IBM Corp., which celebrates its centennial this month, has achieved remarkable success over the years by developing innovative technology products and services and by continuing to transform its brand to adapt to a changing world.
The company was founded on June 16, 1911, as Computing Tabulating and Recording (CTR) Co., making such products as punch-card tabulators, commercial scales and clocks.
