About HP - Hewlett Packard

Hewlett-Packard, abrégé en HP, est une entreprise d’informatique créée par deux diplômés de l’université de Stanford, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard, démarrée dans un garage en 1939. HP, qui fabriquait et vendait à l’origine des appareils électroniques (instruments d’essais et de mesure, notamment), s’est progressivement tourné vers l’informatique et les périphériques : ordinateurs, imprimantes, serveurs, scanners, appareils photo numériques, etc. Hewlett-Packard vend aussi bien aux professionnels qu’aux particuliers, et réalise un chiffre d’affaires annuel d’environ 125 milliards d'euros. L’entreprise produit près de la moitié des imprimantes vendues dans le monde, celles-ci étant à l’origine du quart de son CA.
