Swecoin was a thermal printer manufacturing company based in Sollentuna, Sweden. They also had a US-based sales division, Swecoin US Inc, based in Rhode Island. Today the previous Swecoin business is an integrated part of the Zebra Technologies Corporation. Swecoin's printer designs utilize a patented looping presenter mechanism in which a paper loop is formed inside the printer before the printout is presented to the user of the printer to prevent the user from removing the printout before it has completed. History The company Swecoin AB was founded in 1983, as a successor to the mechanical cash-register company Sweda. Originally the focus was to sell spareparts and similar for these machines. The company then branched into importing and distributing Point of Sales printers from manufacturers like Data Techno. In the very early 1990s the company started developing its own products, kiosk and ticket printers. Shortly after this a US distribution company, Swecoin US Inc, was founded in Rhode Island. The company grew organically and through acquisitions during the 1990s.
