Founded in 1946 in Switzerland by Fritz Laeng and Marie Laeng-Stucki, Lenco became a legendary turntable manufacturer known for high-quality record players. The company rose to prominence in the 1960s-70s with iconic models like the L75 wooden turntable, employing over 1,300 workers and exporting to 80+ countries. After ownership changes through Germany, the Lenco name was acquired by the Dutch STL Group in 1997 and is now owned by Commaxx International NV. Based in Nuth, Netherlands, modern Lenco continues producing turntables, Hi-Fi systems, wireless speakers, and consumer electronics, maintaining its reputation for Swiss-quality engineering while adapting to contemporary audio needs. The company operates internationally with a focus on both traditional vinyl enthusiasts and modern digital audio consumers.
