Victor Technology

Victor products are sold primarily throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico through independent office supply dealers.

In an effort to protect his investment, that man – Carl Buehler – became a director of Victor in September 1918 and was elected president of the company three months later.

During World War II, Victor manufactured an aircraft compass, a B-24 bomber turret gunsight, and the Norden bombsight.

Therefore, it was no surprise that by 1947 Victor had become the world's largest exclusive manufacturer of adding machines, and five years later topped the million mark in units sold.

He decided that the market had potential, but that he would stay out of it until he could find or develop a product suitable for both large and small businesses.

The solution came in 1961 when Victor merged with the Comptometer Corporation, which produced calculating machines and a telecommunication device called the Electrowriter.

[2] The newly formed Victor Comptometer maintained an aggressive stance towards product line expansion.

In 1974, a series of programmable calculators were introduced and quickly captured a large segment of the banking and small-business market.

Kidde, Inc. of Saddle Brook, New Jersey, acquired the company and renamed it Victor Business Machines in 1977.

Toward the end, Kidde made a deal with Chuck Peddle's Sirius Systems Technology, Inc. – a company recognized for manufacturing a technologically advanced, affordable desktop computer designed for the needs of small businesses, Sirius 1.

It was an Intel 8088 based machine running MS-DOS and CP/M-86, but more powerful than IBM PC, released at the same time, regarding RAM, display, floppy disk, etc.

An arrangement was made for Victor to have exclusive domestic distribution rights for a three-year period.

The Sirius machine quickly became the number one selling microcomputer in Europe, when IBM waited with the promotion of the PC on that market.

In order to protect Victor Technologies, Inc. and at the same time find a way to meet its obligations to its creditors, Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings began in February 1984.

As Victor sought to restructure and streamline its operations in the next year, the company continued to fill orders for both office and computer products.

Victor Technologies, Inc. had begun its resurgence as a strong contender in the office products and business computer fields.

This sale left the successful Victor calculator business intact in the United States.

[citation needed] In 2012, Victor launched the Midnight Black Collection of high-end desk accessories.

[3] The collection has since expanded to include Pure White, Classic Silver, Mocha Brown, and Heritage Wood color variations.
