ISTORY
5
In 1945 Werner Pinternagel,
who was an engineer, founded a
workshop for the repair of radio
devices in the Lower Bavarian
town of Pilsting. The development
and manufacture of audio amplifi ers,
which he began at the same time,
became a particular passion.
These pioneering experiences
formed the foundation for over
60 years of expertise in professional
power amplifier technology —
expertise upon which the brand
DYNACORD is able to draw today.
Early results included the KI cinema
amplifi er with its output of 25 watts.
The devices of the company, which
in the meantime had moved to
Landau and by then boasted a
staff of four employees, still bore
the brand name ‘Dynaphon’.
From 1948 onwards, mixing and
portable amplifiers bearing the
name DYNACORD were being
sold to an ever expanding circle
of customers. Within a few years,
the rapidly growing company had
become one of the leading enter-
prises in the still young audio
technology industry. Already in
1954, the manual workshop have
given way to industrial production
as the product portfolio continued to
expand. The high-caliber, pioneering
and often visionary products have
been presented ever since at all
important international trade fairs
and marketed successfully throughout
the world. To make it possible to
satisfy the enormous demand,
DYNACORD moved to Straubing in
1958. The workforce, which at that
time numbered 80 employees, con-
tinued to expand rapidly. Several
times, the production facility was
renovated or expanded.
Finally, in 1986 a new plant was
opened in which more than 500
employees now develop, produce
and dispatch the company’s pro-
ducts to all corners of the globe.
