Origin of IGIDY brand
In 2017, a young entrepreneur named John Renard, driven by his desire to tackle challenges independently, founded the brand IGIDY. Renard, formerly a product designer, later transitioned to a sales role in an international trade company. The frequent travels for business negotiations gave him a profound understanding of the importance of every moment in business dealings. However, he often encountered technical constraints, such as the unavailability of printers or incompatible interfaces between laptops and printing devices.
An experience negotiating a deal in New Zealand deeply affected him: due to interface incompatibility, he couldn't use existing printers, resulting in the loss of a contract worth $4.8 million. This lesson sparked a new idea in Renard's mind: to have a small, wireless printer that could print documents anytime, anywhere, breaking free from interface limitations. Therefore, he decided to establish a brand based on this concept, naming it IGIDY, where "I get it do myself" encapsulates the brand's essence.
Renard's idea resonated with his friend David's vision. David, an author at a publishing house, often needed to handle manuscripts and desired a small, home-friendly printer to meet his work needs. During a dinner gathering, their conversation struck a chord with others, who expressed support and the belief that the market needed a portable printer suitable for both home and office use.
IGIDY was created by Renard, David, and a group of like-minded friends. From the outset, their goal was to pursue portable office and home printers, aiming to provide users with efficient and convenient printing solutions. Leveraging thermal printing technology through both adaptation and self-development, IGIDY successfully achieved portability, wireless connectivity, compact size, and powerful functionality catering to both home and office needs.
IGIDY goes beyond desktop printers and has expanded into a new product line: receipt printers, more suitable for commercial and enterprise use. Additionally, IGIDY has integrated supplier resources for consumables, offering users a diverse selection of thermal paper consumables, striving to become a leading brand focused on thermal printing technology.
The brand story of IGIDY is a tale of dreams and endeavors. From the initial idea to the launch of products today, IGIDY has always embraced the spirit of "I get it do myself" delivering more convenient and efficient printing solutions to users, becoming a reliable partner in the fields of office work, learning, creation, and business.
