Teac

Teac - TEAC Corporation (ティアック株式会社, Tiakku Kabushiki-gaisha) (/ˈtiːæk/) is a Japanese electronics manufacturer. TEAC was created by the merger of the Tokyo Television Acoustic Company, founded in 1953, and the Tokyo Electro-Acoustic Company, founded in 1956. In 2013, Gibson bought a majority stake in the company, but after Gibson's bankruptcy in 2018, TEAC announced that they would continue to operate on their own. In 2024, TEAC Corporation was acquired and merged with Esoteric Corporation. TEAC Australia was founded in 1978 and licensed the TEAC brand to distribute rebranded Chinese-made electronics. These products were sold in discount department stores and had a reputation for being cheap and low-quality.
