Miniot BV is an innovative Dutch design company founded by Greet van den Berg and Peter Kolkman as a small family business with big ideas, established in 2008 and based in Schagen, Netherlands. Originally designing and manufacturing innovative products for iPhones and iPads, Miniot gained international recognition with their revolutionary Wheel turntable series that redefines vinyl playback through unique vertical and horizontal positioning capabilities. Operating as a tiny independent woodworking shop with 11 employees including the founders' son Piet (25) who heads software and electronics as a self-taught engineer, along with their other grown children, Miniot has adopted a holistic approach to product development whereby they maintain complete control over design, engineering, production, assembly, fulfillment, and support. The company's flagship Wheel turntables feature groundbreaking technology where all components are built into the platter below the record, allowing the device to be used flat on tables, upright on stands, or mounted on walls while providing unobstructed views of spinning vinyl with the delicate stylus protected underneath. Their latest innovation, the Wheel 3, represents the culmination of their vision with revolutionary optical stylus position detection using light instead of magnets, diamond stylus without magnetic coils, and precision engineering that reduces wear and distortion. With nearly all parts manufactured in-house at their facility adjacent to the family home in a small Dutch village, Miniot exemplifies Dutch design innovation by combining traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge audio technology, creating products that function as both high-performance audio equipment and sculptural art pieces while shipping worldwide to discerning music lovers and design enthusiasts.
