Imperial Typewriters

Imperial Typewriter Company was a former British manufacturer of typewriters based in Leicester, England.

The company was founded by Hidalgo Moya, an American-Spanish engineer who lived in England. After first building the Moya typewriter, he set up the Imperial Typewriter Company in Leicester in the UK, they ceased manufacturing typewriters when personal computers became popular and people stopped buying typewriters. The company was acquired by Litton Industries in 1966 and the manufacture of typewriters ceased at Leicester in 1974.
