Zenith Electronics Corporation

Zenith Electronics Corporation

Zenith Electronics Corporation was founded in 1918. Zenith Electronics Corporation sold all of its manufacturing operations and now focuses on research and development efforts for parent LGE, which continues to sell Zenith brand LCD TVs, DVD players, home theater systems, and digital TV tuner converter boxes (all made overseas). The maker of many "firsts" -- first portable radio, first TV remote control, and others -- the former US manufacturer is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of South Korea's LG Electronics (LGE). (LGE purchased a majority share in the company in 1995 and the rest in 1999 following Zenith's fall into bankruptcy). Zenith's R&D facility specializes in the development of VSB and digital transmission technologies.
