George J. Laurer, an engineer at IBM, is considered the inventor of the
U.P.C. or Uniform Product Code in 1973. In June of 1974, the first U.P.C.
scanner was installed at a Marsh’s supermarket in Troy, Ohio. The first
product to have a bar code included was a pack of Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit
chewing gum.
