Logitech International S.A. ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|l|ɒ|dʒ|ɪ|t|ɛ|k}} {{respell|LOJ|ih|tek}}) is a Swiss provider of personal computer and mobile peripherals, with its headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland and administrative headquarters in Newark, California. In addition to its Swiss and American facilities, the company has offices throughout Europe, Asia and the rest of the Americas. Logitech's sales and marketing activities are organized into three geographic regions: Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific.

The company develops and markets personal peripherals for PC navigation, video communication and collaboration, music and smart homes. This includes products like keyboards, mice, tablet accessories, webcams, Bluetooth speakers, universal remotes and more.

The name Logitech is derived from the French word for software, "logiciel".[3] In Japan, Logitech was established as Logicool to avoid conflict with the Logitec brand.

Logitech was co-founded in Apples, Vaud, Switzerland, in 1981 by two Stanford alumni, Daniel Borel and Pierluigi Zappacosta, and a former Olivetti engineer, Giacomo Marini.[5]

For a time during its formative years, Logitech's Silicon Valley offices occupied space at 165 University Avenue, Palo Alto, California, home to a number of noted technology startups.[6]

In 2007, Logitech licensed Hillcrest Labs' Freespace motion control technology to produce the MX Air Mouse, which allows a user to use natural gestures to control a PC.[7][8]

In August 2008, Logitech acquired Ultimate Ears, supplier of custom in-ear monitors for professional musicians and Bluetooth speakers for the consumer market.[9]

In December 2008, Logitech announced that it had manufactured one billion mice since 1985.[10]

In July 2011, Logitech acquired the mobile visual communications provider, Mirial.[11]

In January 2013, Bracken Darrell became Logitech’s chief executive officer and then CEO Guerrino De Luca continued as Logitech’s chairman of the board.[12]

In April 2016, Logitech agreed to pay {{US$|7.5 million}} penalty related to accusations that it and some former executives improperly inflated the company's results for its 2011 fiscal year to meet guidance and other accounting violations. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said the alleged accounting issues left investors without an accurate view of the Swiss-U.S. company's finances.[13]

On September 15, 2016, Logitech announced that they had purchased the Saitek brand and assets from Mad Catz for {{US$|13 million}} in cash.[14]

On August 11, 2017, Logitech acquired Astro Gaming, makers of professional gaming equipment (mainly headset solutions), for {{US$|85 million}} in cash.[15]

In July 2018, Logitech announced plans to acquire Blue Microphones for US$117 million.[16]

On August 19, 2018, Logitech announced the launch of their most advanced Ergonomic Mouse called "MX Vertical".[17] It features a vertical angle of 57 degrees, It also comes with a USB-C charging port.[18] The product shipped for sales in September 2018.[19]

Production

The first Logitech mice were made in Le Lieu, in the Swiss Canton of Vaud by Dubois Depraz SA.{{citation needed|date=June 2015}}

Production facilities were then established in the United States, Taiwan, Hungary and Ireland before being moved to Suzhou, China. {{As of|2005}}, the manufacturing operations in China produce approximately half of Logitech's products. The remaining production is outsourced to contract manufacturers and original design manufacturers in Asia.[20]
