Focal

Founded in 1980 in Saint Etienne, France, Focal-JMlab had a workforce of just two people including the current Chairman and CEO Jacques MAHUL, a trained engineer and specialist in drive units. The first drive units developed in this workshop quickly won international acclaim thanks of the originality of their design. At the same time as it was producing drive units under the Focal brand (specially designed for the most famous brands of speakers and for top-of-the-range kit enthusiasts), the company also launched its own range of loudspeakers under the JMlab brand.
