VTech is one of the world’s largest suppliers of corded and cordless telephones. Since acquiring the AT&T brand license in 2000, VTech grew to become the largest player in the industry in North America, claiming 50% of the total telephony market. Our licensing agreement with AT&T has yielded a dual AT&T and VTech brand strategy meaning that we boast with an extensive distribution through over 30,000 retail outlets & distributors network.

Established in Hong Kong in 1976, VTech operates in 10 regions around the world. We have an extensive international distribution network and are publicly listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE: 303). VTech’s Telecom Division invests over $20 million per year into research and development. Our 600 engineers develop over 60 new products each year based on R&D efforts at centers in Canada, Hong Kong and China.

Our reputation is staked on quality and innovation: VTech created the world’s first portable electronic learning devices to 32 years ago; we moved our manufacturing and production to China in 1998; introduced a the first 900 MHz cordless phone in 1991; released the world’s first 5.8 GHz phone in 2002; and in 2009 produced the DS6321 with a BLUETOOTH® enabled transfer of up to 6,000 phone book entries from a cell phone to the landline phone. We continue to lead the way in corded and cordless phones with landline–mobile convergence and enterprise products that showcase strong industrial design and enhanced user interface.

We are proven to be a reliable and trusted phone manufacturer, selling to some of the largest retailers in North America, including Walmart, Costco, Best Buy, Staples, OfficeMax and Target among many others.

Despite the economic conditions, both the VTech and AT&T brands performed well and we continued to increase market share, maintaining the number one position in the US cordless phone market. To drive growth, VTech will continue to pursue our strategy based on product innovation, gains in market share, geographical expansion and operational excellence.
