Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

International Business Machines Corporation : IBM Ltd., a technology-based solutions company, had its beginnings in the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Co. (C-T-R), a company established in 1911 to manufacture and sell machinery. Although C-T-R had operated under the IBM name in Canada since 1917, it was officially renamed the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) in 1924. The name change came as a result of C-T-R's immense growth. By 1924 the company's business had expanded both geographically and functionally, and included the completion of three manufacturing facilities in Europe. In 1952 IBM's chief executive, Thomas J. Watson, Sr., stepped down as president, passing this title on to his son, Thomas J. Watson, Jr. Watson Jr. acted as president until 1971. Successive presidents have included T. Vincent Learson (1971-1973), Frank T. Cary (1973-1981), John R. Opel (1981-1985), John F. Akers (1985-1993), and Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. (1993-present).

IBM Canada Ltd. is headquartered in Markham, Ontario. Its manufacturing and development operations include a semiconductor packaging plant in Bromont, Quebec, a software solutions laboratory in Toronto, Ontario and two Centres for e-business Innovation located in Burnaby, B.C. and in Toronto.
