VTech was initially named “Video Technology Limited” when it was founded in 1976 in Hong Kong by Allan Wong and Stephen Leung. Wong and Leung wanted to maximize on the potential for the newly introduced single chip microprocessor “Intel 4004.”
The company focused its initial efforts developing video games and in 1977 VTech introduced its first home television console, directed primarily to the European and North American markets.
Through the eighties and nineties, VTech made incursions in the personal computer market, the electronic learning product industry and the cordless phone industry. Eventually, the company left the personal computer market because of the steep competition.
In 2000, VTech acquired Lucent Technologies and continued growing its cordless phone business and expanding its presence within the electronic learning products market.
Today, VTech is one of the world leaders in cordless phones and accessories and the world’s largest manufacturer of electronic learning products. VTech makes individual standalone products and platform products that work with different consoles and software.
In 2004 the company introduced V.Smile TV Learning System and soon after launched a variety of new brands with InnoTab, MobiGo and V.Reader. VTech also expanded its brand offerings with the introduction of Switch and Go Dinos in 2012, a line of toys that consist of dinosaurs that turn into vehicles.
