Introduction
Logitech is a multi-brand, multi-category company. We design products that enable better experiences consuming, sharing and creating any digital content, including music,
gaming, video and computing, whether it is on a computer, mobile device or in the cloud.
Logitech was founded in Switzerland in 1981. Our registered office and holding company (Logitech International S.A.) is in Apples, Switzerland. Logitech Inc. is our principal,
wholly-owned subsidiary in the United States. Shares of Logitech International S.A. are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (trading symbol: LOGN) and on the Nasdaq Global
Select Market (trading symbol: LOGI).
Our global footprint extends across North and South America, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and Asia Pacific. Our network of offices includes 24 Principal Offices
(i.e. offices with more than 20 occupants) and a number of smaller (sales-focused) offices worldwide.
We employ more than 6,600 people, including more than 3,000 at our production facility in Suzhou, China. On-site activities primarily comprise final assembly and testing.
Components are manufactured to our specification by third-party suppliers in Asia, the United States and Europe. Approximately half of our annual revenue is generated from products manufactured at our own facility, with components from component suppliers. The other half of our annual revenue (approx) is generated from products manufactured by contract manufacturers. Our local and international teams maintain oversight of all in-house and supplier production activities, quality process controls and sustainability performance, including energy and greenhouse gas performance.
