Korg Inc. · Inagi, Tokyo Japan

When Grammy winner Phil Collins feels the urge to compose a new song, he fires up his Korg. One of the top names in synthesizers, keyboards, and recording and sound equipment, Korg also makes pianos, tuners, metronomes, dance and DJ tools, processors, mixers, digital recording equipment, and software. In addition to Korg, the company's brand names include Karma, Kaoss, Triton, Electribe, and ToneWorks. Founded in 1963, Korg sells its products through distributors in some 80 countries worldwide. Founders Tsutomu Katoh and Tadashi Osanai devised the Korg name by combining "organ" with letters from their names and from the Keio railway line (which was adjacent to Korg's first facility). To read the full description, subscribe now.
