[Ans] What business was known as the Haloid Company before it took the name of its most famous product?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What business was known as the Haloid Company before it took the name of its most famous product?"



When The Haloid Company was founded in 1906, no one expected the company to grow to one of the biggest international document management corporations. The success of their first dry plain paper photocopier (Xerox 914) was so huge that the company changed its name to Haloid Xerox in 1958. The name was chosen based on the unique dry printing technique. Three years later, another renaming occurred and the company was called simply Xerox. The word Xerox has grown to become a synonym for a copy machine (just as pampers became a synonym for changeable diapers).
