CASIO Middle East & Africa marks 60 years of calculator legacy with regional partners, highlighting innovation, authenticity, and educational impact.
Dubai: CASIO Middle East & Africa (CMEA) commemorated a historic calculator legacy celebration, marking 60 years since CASIO Computer Co., Ltd. launched its first desktop calculator in 1957. The landmark occasion was held at Habtoor Palace in Dubai, where regional distributors and key partners gathered to honour the brand’s unmatched contribution to education, business, and innovation.
CASIO’s journey began with a single product that revolutionised the way people processed numbers. Since then, its calculators have become indispensable tools for students, engineers, retailers, and financial professionals around the globe. At the heart of this calculator legacy celebration was a renewed focus on authenticity, innovation, and user empowerment.
Over the decades, CASIO calculators earned a trusted place in classrooms, trading floors, retail counters, and engineering offices. CASIO Middle East & Africa has played a vital role in strengthening this reputation through localised training workshops, real-world case studies, and direct engagement with educators and professionals.
A key highlight of the event was CASIO’s renewed anti-counterfeit measures. Attendees learned about the brand’s enhanced product verification systems and reinforced after-sales support—vital safeguards to protect end-users from substandard imitations.
“Reaching our 60th anniversary is a testament to the trust professionals and businesses have placed in CASIO,” said Koji Shimada, General Manager, Education Business Division at CMEA. “Today, we celebrate our shared history and renew our promise: to empower every office, shop, classroom, and workstation across this region with genuine, reliable tools built to last.”
The calculator legacy celebration also included interactive product demonstrations and regional success story sharing. A cultural reception concluded the evening, with traditional Middle Eastern and African performances symbolising the region’s unity and diversity.
CASIO’s 60-year milestone is more than just a celebration of the past—it is a reaffirmation of its mission to shape the future with tools that educate, simplify, and inspire.
