History
Accuton web site (December 2003): >Company history of Thiel & Partner GmbH In the year 1984 the Backes & MÃ¼ller production-engineer Berhard Thiel invented an electrochemical process to produce very thin sheets of extremely hard corundum (Al2O3) out of shaped aluminum foil. This patented procedure allowed the manufacturing of very stiff, light weighted and highly damped loudspeaker membranes. This new and very hard material embodied loudspeaker drive units with broader bandwith, lower distortion and a purer sound than ever before possible. At first, the drivers were produced solely for new Backes & MÃ¼ller products, a little later Bernhard Thiel stepped out of B&M and founded his own company, the original Thiel GmbH in Homburg, Germany. His loudspeaker drivers were distributed quickly in the audiophile world and gained a very high reputation for their sonic virtues. Very soon, these drivers were used in many of the - top of the line - high end loudspeaker boxes of today's world. Backes & MÃ¼ller, still being the main customer for Bernhard Thiel, went out of business in the year 1992. This - of course - presented some major problems for the young Thiel GmbH. So Bernhard Thiel started looking for a partner to look after the economical side of business. This partner was found in Adrian Bankewitz, at this time european distributor of Thiel products and long time friend of Bernhard Thiel. He bought the assets of the Thiel GmbH and put together the production and distribution channels and the Thiel & Partner GmbH of today was born. Add information
