Craig Milnes (Design Director)
Wilson Benesch is a British company that designs and manufactures high end audio equipment, most notably loudspeakers and turntables. Wilson Benesch was founded in 1989, in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. Today the company is regarded as one of the leading high-technology audio design companies in the United Kingdom. Wilson Benesch operates its entire design and manufacturing operation from Falcon House, an art-deco styled building in the North-West of the city and the original home of Batchelors, built in the 1930s.
Wilson Benesch's first product was the Wilson Benesch Turntable launched in 1991. Since then Wilson Benesch has consistently developed turntables, but also loudspeakers and Hi-Fi furniture. The company has often used carbon fibre composites and metal alloys within its manufacturing process.
Despite its name, there are no relations between Wilson benesch and the US loudspeaker manufacturer Wilson Audio
Wilson Benesch states that it manufactures almost 90% of all product components in-house from raw materials. Design work is completed using Dassault Systemes three-dimensional CAD/CAM software, with the company operating a variety of machinery, including but not limited to CNC machines for metal alloy components and Vacuum Resin Transfer Moulding Machinery for the production of carbon fibre composite components.
In 2012 Wilson Benesch took out a loan with Finance Yorkshire, who provide seedcorn, loan and equity investments via the UK Government, European Regional Development Fund and European Investment Bank to help businesses grow and develop. The loan allowed Wilson Benesch to expand its manufacturing operation and commence full production of its new reference loudspeaker, the Cardinal.
Research and development (R&D) has been central to the development of Wilson Benesch. From the outset, most finance and subsequent earnings from sales of the first products were invested in new product development.
