Savin was incorporated in 1959 by Max Low (the company was names after Low's brother-in-law)[1] and was known primarily for its line of liquid toner photocopiers, which set it apart from other companies that manufactured dry toner equipment.

During the 1960s and through the 1980s, Savin developed and sold a line of liquid-toner copiers that implemented a technology based on patents held by the company.[1]

In 1995, Ricoh Company acquired Savin Corporation, at which time it was made a wholly owned sales subsidiary.[2]
