Fender

Leo Fender was a radio repairman, then a general electronic retailer. With partner Doc Kauffman their first amplifier and steel guitar was made in 1945. The brand was established in 1946 in Fullerton, California USA. Kauffman left soon after and the Fender Electric Instrument company was established in 1946 in Fullerton, California.
Fender was purchased by CBS in December 1964 with Leo staying on as a consultant till 1970. In March 1982 Fender Japan (Fuji Gen Gakki) was established.
In 1984 CBS sold Fender to an investment group (Fender Musical Instruments Corporation) for less than they bought the company. However, the sale did not include production facilities. USA guitar production was very limited in 1985 with most made in Japan. The new factory in Corona, California commenced manufacture in 1986.
Mexican production began in 1990. Fender instruments are now made in USA, Mexico, China, Korea and Japan. [Source: Blue Book]
