Pitney Bowes was originally created in 1920 when two men, Arthur Pitney and Walter Bowes, combined their unique companies together. Arthur Pitney was the founder of the Pitney Postal Machine Company, while Walter Bowes was the founder of the Universal Stamping Machine Company. These two men worked together to create the company Pitney Bowes, which succeeded in many ways. A few of their inventions include the first ink jet postage meter, and the first in-line weighing and metering system. Pitney Bowes is the world's largest producer of postage meters; the company who also makes other mailing equipment and provides shipping and weighing systems. They are a provider of mail and document solutions as well as new innovations in the mailing industry and applications in a variety of markets, including printing, shipping, encryption and financial services. It also develops software to create mailers and manage shipping, transportation, and logistics for government agencies and corporations. Pitney Bowes is a multi-billionaire company who believes in waste reduction and recycling, energy management, renewable energy, employee involvement and education. To this day Pitney Bowes is still dedicated to making everyone’s shipping, printing, and mailing experiences much easier and cost effective.
