Svend Olufsen was a Danish electrical engineer who co-founded Bang & Olufsen with Peter Bang. Like Bang, Olufsen studied at the Technical University of Aarhus. Olufsen and Bang both shared a enthusiasm for radio, which at the time was in its infancy.[1] After Bang returned from a trip to the United States, he and Olufsen began running experiments in Olufsen's family manor, Quistrop, in Struer, Denmark. Their company Bang & Olufsen was formally established on November 17, 1925, with Olufsen acting primarily focusing on the business aspects.[2] Olufsen's mother, Anna, helped fund the company through the sale of their family's eggs.[3] Their first commercially viable product came in 1927 with the production of a radio that could connect to alternating current, rather than be battery-powered.
