History
Dymo embossing tape label maker around 1967

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]

The company was acquired by Esselte in 1978[3] and battery-powered printers became a major product after 1990. The corporation was sold to Newell Rubbermaid in 2005.[1][4]

gollark: Oh.
gollark: How did you find that anyway? Search engine? Old CT logs?
gollark: Indeed!
gollark: Although I believe that it's been shown to not really be the case that some people are "visual learners" versus, I don't know, "tactile learners", this is quite nice.
