Kardex has been a significant name in business data storage since 1898, tracing back to the Rand Ledger Company. The brand became closely linked to the widespread adoption of the index card as a standard tool for business data management, reflecting its role in the evolution of information organization and retrieval systems throughout the 20th century. Kardex as a company name was introduced in 1915, subsumed in 1927, and revived in 1977. Today, the Kardex Group, headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, is a global leader in intralogistics solutions. It specializes in automated storage and retrieval systems, integrated material handling, small parts storage, and automated high-bay warehouses for modern warehouses in a variety of industries. Employing around 2,500 people across 30+ countries, Kardex Holding AG has been listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange since 1989. Wikipedia
