The company was first established in 1883 in Ste Croix in the Swiss Jura when Hermann Thorens had the company entered in the commercial register.
The purpose of the company was to manufacture music boxes and musical works, and they are renowned historically for the range of phonographs they produce.
It was in 1928 that they produced the first electric record player in their line. The company then went on to create a range of audiophile record players in the 1950s and 1960s which are, even today, regarded as high-end audio equipment and are much sought-after. During this time, the company moved to Germany, then later returned to Switzerland.
Since then, Thorens has gained recognition in the marketplace for its popular high-quality turntables and analog ancillaries such as amplifiers and harmonicas.
