From mechanical pencil, radios, LCD panels, solar modules to award winning multifunction printers, 8K displays and Plasmacluster® air purifiers, Sharp originates technologies that enhance lifestyles, inspire innovations that support individual expression, and create products that let you be you.

Since its inception the brand is dedicated to two principal ideals- Sincerity and Creativity. In November 2016, Sharp announced its “Be Original.” corporate motto. “Be Original.” is Sharp's promise to our customers around the world that we will remain a brand that creates value that is rich in originality and that is uniquely Sharp.

We have been operating in Canada for almost 50 years, but Sharp's history of innovation goes all the way back to 1912. That's 110 years of innovation! Sharp's founder, Tokuji Hayakawa released the snap buckle belt in 1912, and a few years later brought the "Ever Sharp Pencil" to market. That's where it all started for Sharp. With a pencil that never dulled - it's where the spirit of Sharp originated - and continues to do so - through our evolving technologies. Hayakawa also coined our mantra, to "make products that others want to imitate", which is what inspires our global creed of creativity and sincerity and enables us to bring life changing technologies to the Canadian market.

Sharp Corporation has since established itself as a worldwide developer of unique products and technological solutions that have played a key role in shaping the electronics industry with many significant milestones.
