Kendy Enterprises was established in 1958 by Jack and Daisy Yuen and was one of the first electronics manufacturers in Hong Kong. In 1962 it started making six transistor radios under its own “Kendy” brand. The firm launched its first cassette tape recorder in 1968 and first five in one stereo home music centre in 1973 and first three in one portable music centre in 1978. Facing intense competition from Japanese players such as Sony and Panasonic, the Yuens established Dayton Industrial in 1972 to develop other products outside of radios. |
