Imation Corp. was a provider of data storage products and related information-management solutions. Its offerings historically included magnetic tape, optical media, flash storage products, removable storage, and other media used for data backup, archiving, duplication, and distribution.
The company served business, government, education, and consumer markets through operations and distribution channels in North America, Europe, Asia, and other international regions. Imation’s products were used in enterprise data centers as well as by organizations and individuals seeking physical storage and backup media.
Imation was spun off from 3M in 1996 and operated as an independent company focused on data storage and imaging-related products. In 2016, the company changed its name to GlassBridge Enterprises, Inc. and shifted away from the Imation-branded operating business following asset sales and restructuring. As a result, Imation is primarily a historical company name rather than the current name of an operating storage-products business.
