Founded in 1968 in Glyngøre, Denmark by carpenter Preben Jacobsen and salesman Julius Mortensen (whose surnames formed the company name), Jamo rapidly became synonymous with Danish design excellence in audio. Starting from a tiny workshop, the company achieved remarkable milestones: one million speakers by 1978, becoming Europe's largest speaker manufacturer by 1994, and selling over 11.5 million units by 1998. Jamo pioneered THX certification for EMEA speakers and received ISO 9001 certification. Acquired by Klipsch Audio Technologies in 2005, production moved to China in 2004 while maintaining Danish design heritage. Today, Jamo creates bookshelf speakers, floor-standing speakers, home theater systems, and subwoofers characterized by warmth, purity, and effortless sophistication. The brand's philosophy of 'elevate the everyday' through accessible sound and design continues to enrich lives worldwide through music.
