25th Anniversary Commemoration

On Oct. 2, 1981, Daniel Borel, Pierluigi Zappacosta and Giacomo Marini founded Logitech S.A., and opened the company´s first office in the small village of Apples, Switzerland. The first business deal was to develop a graphical editor for Ricoh. Because of the founders´ software background, they chose the name Logitech, which comes from the French word for software: “logiciel.” Twenty-five years later, Logitech has more than 7,200 employees in more than 30 countries. The company has sold more than 700 million mice, and its product lines include keyboards, Web cameras, voice headsets, speakers, headphones, game controllers and remote controls. In its most recent fiscal year, completed in March 2006, Logitech introduced more than 130 new products and shipped more than 143 million products worldwide, earning revenues of more than $1.8 billion.

How did Logitech get here? To commemorate its 25-year anniversary, the company presents slices of its history in the following documents, which identify the most important products, defining moments, and trends that have made the company what it is today: the world´s leading provider of personal peripherals that people want to buy and love to use.
