Audiolab于1983年由两位英国人Philip Swift和Derek Scotland创办.最初本来是一间很细

　　小的公司,那时的生产厂房竟然只是在Philip家中的厨房。

　　首款生产出来的产品正是传颂于音响界多年的8000A合并式放大器,继而的8000C前级及8000P后级同样也是非常经典的产品。及至后来的新款前级8000Q和单声道后级8000M,亦马上被英国权威音响杂志《What Hi Fi》采用为参考放大器。

　　至1998年,麦拿伦赛车队把Audiolab收购,同时亦把牌子名称更改为TAG McLaren。麦拿伦以他们高尖端科技,发展出多项新颖的音响及影音产品等。到了2004年的3月,著名的国际音响集团IAG把麦拿伦音响部收购过来,并在一年后把牌子回复为大家熟识的Audiolab。

　　IAG并非只把牌子买了过来便算,同时亦把很多麦拿伦音响的科技和设计也引进到IAG;当然,最重要的是技术方面的人材，包括服务了Audiolab/TAG McLaren十多年的总设计工程师Nick Clarke也一起加入了IAG。

HARMAN Expands to Northern China with New Technology Center

25-January-2011

SHANGHAI, China – HARMAN, the global leader in premium audio and infotainment (NYSE: HAR), announced continued progress in its latest $100 million investment phase in the People’s Republic of China, with the formation of the legal entity to support HARMAN’s expansion into the northeastern city of Dandong. This follows an initial investment phase of $75 million in 2007-2008 to establish manufacturing and R&D centers in China.

Dandong, located in the Liaoning Province, will be the home to HARMAN’s latest manufacturing and research center. The custom-built, 43,000 square meter facility will be HARMAN’s most technologically advanced, featuring dual operations for both automotive electronics and professional audio systems. Construction began in October 2010, marked by a special groundbreaking ceremony with officials from the Dandong Government. The facility is expected to come on-line in July 2011, and an advanced training center has already been established to ensure employees are fully trained in time for the plant opening.

“Through strategic planning and focused efforts, HARMAN is making tremendous gains in China toward our growth and global footprint goals,” said Dinesh C. Paliwal, the Company’s Chairman, President and CEO. “With continued support from the Government of Dandong, we are making rapid progress toward the launch of a new northern base for our Chinese operations, and a new global hub that will help supply premium audio and electronics to China and the world.”

From the new Dandong tech facility, HARMAN will conduct development, engineering, and manufacturing to meet the growing demand for advanced audio and infotainment solutions, particularly for China, which has become the world’s largest automotive market. The Company serves global automotive brands including Audi, BMW, Chrysler, FIAT, Ferrari, General Motors, Hyundai, Lexus, Land Rover, Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Toyota, and Volkswagen. The second operation in Dandong will house engineering for audio electronics and loudspeakers sold under a range of HARMAN’s premium brands in the Professional and Consumer sectors.

With 1200 current employees across its Chinese operations, the Dandong facility will double the size of our employee footprint to more than 2500 employees by the time the technology center comes online. The Company also operates its flagship HARMAN retail showroom in Shanghai’s Sinan Mansions development. The Company’s $100 million investment plan follows its successful participation as technology supplier and an official sponsor to the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, and similar landmark audio installations at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2009 China National Day Celebrations.
