What is Verbatim
Mitsubishi Kagaku Media Co., Ltd. (MKM) is the global brand marketing its products in more than 80 countries around the world. From September this year, all data optical discs were switched from the MITSUBISHI brand to the Verbatim Brand and the Verbatim Brand was fully launched in the Japanese market*.
Verbatim was born in 1969 in the State of California in the United States. Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (known as Mitsubishi Kasei Corporation at that time), the parent company of MKM, purchased Verbatim in 1990. Verbatim means "literally" and has been used since the company's founding in 1969 to illustrate the principle of accurate, error free recording of data.

* Since 2008, MKM has been selling USB Memory, SD Cards, Portable Hard Disk Drives and other products under the Verbatim brand.
