Global InformationDocumation information
Documation was an American Stock Exchange-listed computer hardware manufacturer[1] founded in 1969[2] in Melbourne, Florida that went public in 1976.[3] They made (punched card) card readers used in some American elections 3 decades later.[4] They also produced Impact Line printers.[5]
In late 1980,[6] Storage Technology Corporation (STC) acquired Documation, which was subsequently spun off, and those companies which subdivided from it, most of which use Documation-like names, no longer manufacture computer peripherals.
Documation was described as "a financially troubled printer manufacturer."[6]
