BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORICAL NOTE

The A.B. Dick Company was founded in 1884 in Chicago, Illinois, by Albert Blake Dick, Sr.

Having made the acquaintance of Thomas A. Edison, Dick used Edison's electric pen concept to

invent the mimeograph process, creating a quick, simple, and economical method to duplicate

printed materials.

Over the years, the A.B. Dick Company expanded their product lines to include mimeoscopes,

offset duplicators, spirit duplicators, electronic typewriters and word processors, microform

machines, and computer systems. They pioneered photocopier technology in 1957, followed two

years later by the first high-speed videograph for creating address labels.

The A.B. Dick Company was privately held until 1972, when the business went public on the

New York Stock Exchange. Only seven years later, the General Electric Company (GEC) of

Great Britain purchased the company for $104 million. Although new products were developed

through the 1980s and 1990s, A.B. Dick was sold two more times, ultimately filing for

bankruptcy in 2004. Its assets, trademarks, and name were acquired by Presstek, Inc., who

continued to manufacture and market A.B. Dick products until 2013. That year, the company

was subdivided, with Mark Andy, Inc. acquiring all A.B. Dick products and trademarks.
