JBL was founded in 1946 by James Bullough Lansing in the United States and has since become one of the most recognized names in audio engineering. Over the decades, the company's ownership has transitioned through several major corporations. Today, JBL is a key brand under Harman International Industries, which was acquired in 2017 and remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of the South Korean tech giant, Samsung Electronics. This ownership structure places JBL within a global ecosystem of innovation, combining American heritage with South Korean technological leadership.
