Our History

Duplo founder headshot
Mr. Juko Shima, Founder

Duplo Corporation, founded in Japan by Juko Shima in 1956, is a leading manufacturer of paper handling equipment. Also, the first to develop the spirit duplicator. Mr. Shima’s dream of bringing Duplo to the United States has since grown into a global brand. It offers a wide range of finishing solutions through key distributors in Asia, Europe, and the U.S.

Duplo USA Corporation was established in September 1979 in Gardena, California. Initially, the company distributed Duplo collators, bursters, decollators, folders, and stencil/spirit duplicators. They also provided valuable feedback to Japan for product development tailored to the U.S. print market. Forty years later, Duplo USA offers a full range of automated digital print finishing solutions. These include raised spot UV coaters, slitter/cutter/creasers, die cutters, tabletop folders, guillotine cutters, collators, sheet feeders, and binding systems. The company has its corporate headquarters in Santa Ana, Calif., a training/warehouse facility in Suwanee, Ga., and a warehouse in Ontario, Calif. to serve customers across the Americas.
