Studer

Company profile[edit]

The beginnings of STUDER date back to 1948 when Willi Studer founded his company with practically no equity capital and only three employees. At that time, the rooms of the first workshop were located in the basement of a post office building in Zurich.

The equipment was spartan: a lathe, a workbench and a grinding machine were the tools that the then 36-year-old Willi used for his first products. The studio machine of the type A27 and the very first ReVox tape recorders, which at that time still consisted of the converted Dynavox devices from the USA, were manufactured at the first location.

What followed in the next years and decades was the unprecedented career of a self-made man who became an industrial and audio pioneer in Switzerland and worldwide. Numerous products were invented and manufactured by Willi Studer and his employees. ReVox specialized in the upscale hi-fi sector, and STUDER produced for professional users such as radio and television stations and record studios from the very beginning.
