PHILOSOPHY AND HISTORY

The Katana is the samurai sword. In choosing the name and by its very actions, Katana has forged its own values in deserving the trust of the best.

Katana was founded in 2004 to enhance the management of confidential documents within commercial enterprises. Despite the fact that modern technology and innovative computers become obsolete in less than 2 years, we still produce the same amount of paper.

Thus Katana has designed a secure and safe way to eliminate the overwhelming paper load enforcing a strict procedure similar to the one applied by the armored car and money transport firms.
