Did you know2024
Lexmark is a familiar American office-printer brand — spun out of IBM in 1991 — but it has been Chinese-owned since 2016, when a consortium led by Apex Technology and Ninestar (a major Chinese printer-consumables maker) bought it. So a fleet of "Lexmark" printers humming in Western offices and government agencies has, behind the brand, foreign ownership — and printers are networked, data-handling devices, raising the same connected-device security and supply-chain-trust questions seen with other foreign-owned hardware. (Xerox agreed to acquire Lexmark in 2024, which would bring it back under US ownership.) The familiar office printer is a clean case study in how brand nationality and corporate ownership diverge, and why that divergence matters for a networked device that sits on sensitive networks and quietly processes everything that's printed through it.
