Ortofon 100 year Anniversary book - collector's itemThere are very few companies which survive long enough to celebrate their 100th birthday, but Ortofon is one. With the publication of this special book, they share their pride in Ortofon with the public; in particular, with the many loyal customers all over the world. Ortofon have chosen to let Ortofon people help to tell this story, because they are proud of the company’s many achievements throughout its long history. This book reveals the remarkable history of a company that for 100 years has always been in the business of acoustics. Indeed, for that timespan, Denmark itself, has been recognised as the land of acoustics, with many companies designing innovative products. The country retains that reputation today. Ortofon has played a significant role in creating a rich heritage for Danish acoustics. We believe that enviable legacy is best protected and continued by the development of exciting new products and keeping Ortofon viable for the future. As you will discover in the book, the list of Ortofon’s famous and groundbreaking products is a long one. Music historian Kevin Howlett has written this history of 100 years of Ortofon based on a firm foundation of exhaustive research in various archives and in-depth interviews with past and present employees from the 1970s until now. We are indebted to all the many friends and colleagues who gave so generously of their time to contribute to this book.

More than 100 years ago, the great Danish success story began, which later became the Ortofon we know today. On October 9, 1918, the two Danish engineers Axel Petersen (1887-1971) and Arnold Poulsen (1889-1952) founded the 'Electric Phono Film Company' in Copenhagen along with a few forward-thinking businessmen who wanted to financially support the organization. Their goal was to explore the possibility of high-class sound recording and to develop one of the first sound-synchronized film systems in the world.
In 1948, Ortofon developed their first Moving Coil cartridge and since then more than 300 different cartridge's have been developed and produced - Today, Ortofon A/S employs more than 100 staff at their headquarters in Nakskov, Denmark, where Ortofon is not only the world's leading manufacturer of cartridge's with sales of over 500,000 units per year, but also the largest producer of cartridge's in the world. In addition to catridge, Ortofon also produces a myriad of accessories for turntables in general. Ortofon is a shining example of a Danish brand that reaches far beyond the country's borders and is therefore also sold in more than 60 countries, including the United States and Japan.
