TELETON BRIEF HISTORY; In July 1970, the British press announced that Mitsubishi, the Japanese industrial giant, has just acquired 50% of Teleton Electro Ltd, its official distributor for Germany. “General Corporation”. Mitsubishi announces its ambitions: to generate a turnover of 9 million the first year, 25 million the following year … The brand new company, simply named Teleton, markets under its name Japanese products “General Corporation”. But Mitsubishi sees bigger: the Japanese wants to occupy the market of video recorders, car accessories, microwaves and office machines. Mitsubishi claims to hold about 50% of the UK television market. The Teleton team from London is joined by a small staff of Japanese expats. Teleton, the various Mitsubishi electronic products will be sold throughout the 70s in Europe. In 1977, there were Teleton branches in Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Switzerland. At the beginning of this new partnership, the young firm Teleton produces very classic models, largely influenced by the historic Teleton Electro, with a facade and aluminum buttons. Another series has rotating knobs instead of linear knobs. In the early 1970s, the arrival of the German firm Rommel & Schoen Design influences the design. From 1971 to 1978, again thanks to the Rommel & Schoen touch, the range of devices is well expanded and the brand takes advantage of the rise of the “King-Music” brand. In 1977 the firm Fujitsu and its subsidiary General Ltd entered into the design and manufacture of some of the new Teleton models. The General / Teleton Electro Co Limited group will even manufacture air conditioners. The group will produce many items, while Fujitsu will gradually take over, progressively Mitsubishi will focus on its own high-end stereo production. In the early 80’s the style of the group changes and becomes more Japanese, this time purely General Ltd design and manufacturing and which will inspire the line of upcoming models and will probably also be the last to wear the Teleton brand name. The last owner of the Teleton brand as of January 3, 2005 was Teleton Electro Co. Limited.
General is still in business and still manufactures air conditioners.
