Remington Rand, Inc. was a business machines manufacturer, most well-known for its typewriters. Remington Rand, Inc., was incorporated in Delaware on January 25, 1927, as a merger of the Remington Typewriter Company and the Rand Kardex Bureau, Inc. The Powers Accounting Machine Company was founded by inventor James L. Powers (1871-1926) in 1911. Powers firm was acquired by the newly formed Remington Rand, Inc. within the first year.

Remington Rand merged with a major electronics company, the Sperry Corporation, in 1955, becoming the Sperry Rand Corporation. It continued, however, to lose market share to IBM and, by the early 1960s, was in a distant second place with only 10 percent of the market. In 1986, Sperry Rand was purchased by the Burroughs Corporation in a hostile takeover. The merged company was renamed Unisys Corporation.
