Talk:Logitech

I have tried to incorporate the following mostly duplicate text from the redundant article "Logitec" (which now redirects here). But, if there is info here that isn't on the Logitech article page, please move it over.

thanks,

- Logitech International USA is a holding company with subsidiaries that produce hardware (and corresponding software) for computers, such as speakers, headsets, webcams and mice. These technological devices work with PCs and Macs, but are sometimes specially designed for iPods or other Mac extensions. In 2009 Business Week Online reported that computer mice made up almost 24% of Logitech's sales and keyboards account for 17%.

History
Founded in 1981 in Apples, Switzerland, Logitech’s first venture was manufacturing computer mice.

Top Executives
The company’s corporate Web site lists the following top executives: Guerrino De Luca, Chairman of the Board and Gerald P. Quindlen, President and Chief Executive Officer. Quindlen has spoken to news media as a representative of Logitech twice in 2009.

Logitech in the Current Economy
At the end of December 2008, Logitech reported a 15% drop (to $627 million) in sales. A recent Business Week Online article posited that consumers are “trading down” this year, and predicted Logitech’s sales would continue to fall in 2009.

Later in January 2009 representatives from Logitech reported that between 550-600 jobs would be cut from the global holding company, in response to falling sales.
