MANUFACTURING
Our high-volume production facility was established in Suzhou, China in 1994. On-site activities primarily comprise final assembly and testing. Components are manufactured to our specification by suppliers in Asia, the United States and Europe.
We use Joint Design Manufacturers and Contract Manufacturers to supplement internal capacity and reduce volatility in production volumes. Our local and international teams maintain oversight of all in-house and supplier production activities, manufacturing know-how, quality process controls, social and environmental responsibilities and
Intellectual Property protection. This hybrid model of in-house manufacturing and third-party manufacturers enables us to effectively respond to rapidly changing demand,
leverage economies of scale, maintain strong quality process controls, reduce volatility in production levels, and optimize time to market.
MARKET SEGMENTS
Our products fall into five main segments:
Creativity & Productivity: With soaring connectivity needs at home, in the office or on the go, we continue to innovate and grow market share for pointing devices, keyboards/
combos, tablets, webcams, and other accessories.
Gaming: Our Gaming category comprises PC and console products designed to enhance gamer experiences, including virtual and augmented reality. We design and engineer industry-leading keyboards, mice, headsets, mouse pads, controllers, and simulation products such as steering wheels and flight sticks.
Video Collaboration: Our Video Collaboration category includes conference cams that combine enterprise quality, audio, and video to affordably enable conferencing by organizations of any size.
Music: Our Music category includes two sub-categories: Mobile Speakers and Audio & Wearables. The Mobile Speakers category includes portable wireless Bluetooth? and
Wi-Fi speakers that are waterproof and provide bold, immersive sound in every direction. The Audio & Wearables category comprises PC speakers and headsets, in-ear headphones, premium wireless audio wearables, and a range of studio-quality audio tools for recording or broadcasting content, for streaming platforms, podcast production,
music, and gaming.
Smart Home: We made the decision to stop manufacturing and selling the Harmony Line of remote controls as consumer behaviour around entertainment shifted to streaming services across multiple screens. We continue to support the installed base of Harmony users by maintaining and supporting the software stack that powers the Harmony system.
BRANDS
The Logitech family currently comprises six brands: Logitech, Logitech G, ASTRO Gaming, Streamlabs, Blue Microphones, and Ultimate Ears.
