Rega
About Rega
Rega Research Limited is a prestigious British hi-fi audio equipment manufacturer founded in 1973 by Roy Gandy and Tony Relph in Rochford, England. The company name derives from the initials of its founders (RElph & GAndy), though Tony Relph departed within months of establishment, leaving Roy Gandy to build the company into a global leader. Starting from Roy Gandy's childhood passion for record players at age 13, Rega has grown from humble beginnings to become one of the world's most respected turntable manufacturers. The company operates from a custom-built 38,000 square foot facility in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, employing over 140 skilled technicians who hand-assemble every product. Rega is renowned for its award-winning turntables, particularly the iconic Planar 3 launched in 1976, which remains their core product with over 4,000 units produced monthly. Beyond turntables, they manufacture complete hi-fi systems including amplifiers, phono stages, loudspeakers, CD players, and DACs. In October 2024, founder Roy Gandy gifted 100% of his shares to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), making Rega entirely employee-owned. Despite never spending money on advertising, Rega has achieved global recognition through word-of-mouth and sells to 46 countries with leading market share in 42 nations.
