A History of Carrier Tape
The first carrier tape in the world was 40 years ago on machinery designed and built by a company called Windfield, based out of West Chicago, Illinois. Starting with a concept created by Matsushita Electronics (now Panasonic Corporation) and Phillips Electronics, the Windfield team, comprised of a couple of drag racers, came up with the first product based on this initial concept.
Carrier tape has become nearly a 500 million dollar business worldwide and is responsible for standardizing automation systems across numerous industries. Pictured is a photo of one of the earliest samples of carrier tape from that time.
