History

Co-founded in Apples, Vaud, Switzerland in 1981 by Logitech founded by two former Stanford graduate students, Daniel Borel and Pierluigi Zappacosta, and Giacomo Marini, formerly a manager at Olivetti.

Logitech is a spin-off of the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), more precisely of the LAMI, where Professor Jean-Daniel Nicoud invented the modern computer mouse.

At one point during its formative years, Logitech's Silicon Valley offices occupied space at 165 University Avenue, Palo Alto, California, home to a number of noted technology startups.

Production

The first Logitech mice were produced in Le Lieu, Swiss Jura by Dubois Depraz SA.

The production facility was then established in the US, Taiwan, Ireland and moved subsequently to China.
