Behringer is an audio equipment company founded by the Swiss engineer Uli Behringer on 25 January 1989, in Willich, Germany. Behringer was the 14th largest manufacturer of music products in 2007. Behringer is a worldwide, multinational group of companies, with direct marketing presence in ten countries or territories and a sales network in over 130 countries around the world.Though originally a German manufacturer, it now manufactures its products in China. Behringer is owned by Music Tribe, a holding company founded and chaired by Uli Behringer.Company founder, Uli Behringer, was born 1961 in Baden, Switzerland. Behringer's father was a church organist and nuclear physicist; his mother a pianist and interpreter; his uncle a professor of composition at the Richard Strauss Conservatory in Munich; and his aunt a classical singer and pianist. At the age of four, Uli Behringer started to learn piano. When he was five years old, his father built his own church organ with over 1000 pipes and integrated them into the family home. Behringer helped his father build the organ. At the age of 16, he built his first synthesizer, the UB1.In 2002, Behringer completed its own factory, named "Behringer City," in Zhongshan, Guangdong province, China after it consolidated more than ten separate production locations into one vertically integrated plant, comprising eight buildings where electronics, speakers, guitars, and digital pianos are produced. This strategy was different than that taken by other musical instrument companies at the time who relied on third party manufacturers. Choosing to run a self-contained plant allowed Behringer a greater level of quality control. The 1,200,000-square-foot (110,000 m2) manufacturing complex in Zhongshan ships more than 2.5 million Behringer products per year to markets around the globe. The plant turns out over 50,000 mixers per month.
