Company Overview

HP Inc. is an American multinational information technology company that designs, manufactures and sells personal computing devices, printers and related supplies and services. Its product portfolio spans consumer and commercial notebooks and desktops, workstations, displays and accessories, as well as an extensive line of printing hardware that includes home, office and production printers. HP also provides consumables such as ink and toner, managed print services, device deployment and lifecycle support, and software for device and print management.

Founded from the original Hewlett‑Packard Company, HP Inc. became a separately traded public company in 2015 following a corporate split that created Hewlett Packard Enterprise to focus on enterprise hardware and services. The company traces its roots back to 1939 when Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard started the business in Palo Alto, California. Today HP operates globally, selling products and services to consumers, small and medium businesses, and large enterprises across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia‑Pacific region through a combination of direct sales, channel partners and retail distribution.

Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, HP Inc. is led by a senior management team responsible for product development, supply chain and go‑to‑market strategy; Enrique Lores serves as chief executive officer. The company emphasizes product innovation—ranging from thin-and-light laptops to high-speed printers and growing initiatives in 3D printing and digital manufacturing—and positions itself as a provider of end‑to‑end device and print solutions for a broad set of customer segments worldwide.
