For more than a century, the brand TELEFUNKEN has stood for inventions and innovations in the fields of consumer electronics and industrial goods. As well as reflecting the basic principles of German engineering, our devices combine classic functional design with high quality and user-friendly operation.

From the beginning, the people and companies behind the TELEFUNKEN brand were primarily driven by the goal and technical enthusiasm to capture and transmit images, sound, and data over small and large distances as fast as possible and in the best quality.

The current devices manufactured and offered by our licensees under the TELEFUNKEN brand combine classic functional design with high quality and user-friendly operation. Based on the history of the brand, one major product focus is still the TV and audio sector with elegant, versatile, and acoustically excellent devices.

Even today, this promise to perform and the trust it generates among consumers still ensure a strong global image and high level of awareness, coupled with commercial success. A position which is continually expanded and strengthened in tandem with companies belonging to our TELEFUNKEN Partner Alliance, a worldwide network of independent enterprises operating in the sectors of television, video, audio, smart devices, small and large household appliances, smart home, energy and more.

Telefunken Management Board

Since the market entry and foundation of the first TELEFUNKEN company in 1903, the TELEFUNKEN brand has been viewed as a gem of German industry.

As a pioneer in the development of techniques for wireless information transmission, TELEFUNKEN quickly became a successful enterprise under Kaiser Wilhelm II, having a significant influence on the development of radio and communication engineering worldwide. With transmitters and receivers for radiotelegraphy and radio broadcasting, as well as both wireless and wired transmission technology, the foundation was also laid for taking over a leading role in the development of radar engineering.

One of the greatest successes achieved by the TELEFUNKEN brand was, moreover, the invention of color television based on the PAL system, which even today is still at the core of every TV set in many parts of the world.

It is precisely this power and determination in creatively using innovations to solve everyday problems and in our business activities that still urges us to preserve TELEFUNKEN and make it an experience for coming generations.

Today, the company TELEFUNKEN Licenses GmbH, Frankfurt/Main, Germany, is the owner of rights in and to the brand TELEFUNKEN. The enterprises of the TELEFUNKEN Partner Alliance, a worldwide network of independent licensees, develop and distribute in line with the brand values a wide product portfolio, e.g., TV, audio, video, small and major domestic appliances.

The TELEFUNKEN Partner Alliance offers a platform for creating synergies based on a constant exchange of information and a global network.

About 30 licensees are currently partners in this globally active alliance. Producing and marketing TELEFUNKEN branded products in over 120 countries, they ensure by virtue of their commitment and self-image that the traditional brand values of TELEFUNKEN are upheld.
