Mission #1 – Providing artists with the best tools to express themselves
We design, produce, and distribute high-quality electronic musical instruments.
Fred's Lab handles all electronics and software design for its products. Whenever possible, manufacturing and assembly are done locally in Germany. Specific parts are produced with trusted partner companies in Germany and China.
We perform most of the production process: manual assembly, quality testing, packaging, and shipping all take place in our workshop in Bonn, Germany.
