Imation Corporation was an American company which manufactured and marketed data storage products. It was founded in 1996 as a spin-off of 3M's data storage and imaging business. Imation had three core elements: traditional storage (magnetic tape and optical products), secure and scalable storage (data backup, data archive and data security for small and medium businesses) and what the company calls "audio and video information" products.
In January 2017, the company announced a change of name and direction, completing its move away from the data storage business towards being focused on asset management and strategic investment and rebranding itself as GlassBridge Enterprises.
