|  | | |  | Mr Arthur Pitney had a brilliant idea in 1901. The idea of a postage meter occurred to him while he was employed by a wallpaper company in Chicago. He saw a postage meter as a preventive measure to help stamp out stamp theft. The Pitney Postal Machine Company was formed in 1902 and the machine that he inspired came of age as a true postage meter machine in 1912. | | In 1919, Pitney met his English-born partner Mr Walter Harold Bowes who had had success with a Post Office stamp cancelling machine, and in April 1920, the Pitney Bowes Postage Meter Company was formed. The accompanying illustration shows a Patent drawing of the Company's famed Model M machine of 1920.
Since its formation, Pitney Bowes has evolved into the global leader in mailing equipment that it is today. The intervening years have seen the march oftechnology in all areas of business equipment, with Pitney Bowes always leading, never following. |  | |  | Today, the Company is world leader in the supply of postage meters (or franking machines), electronic postage scales, folding and inserting systems, mail openers, high-end computer output mailing systems, package tracking systems and customer communication management software. | | | | | |
