History

Craig Electronics was founded in 1963 as a manufacturer of home and car stereos. The company had many celebrity sponsorships for these stereo systems, which included The Beach Boys, Ray Charles, Ringo Starr, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer.[2] In 2001, the company was re-established as a manufacturer of low-cost consumer electronics.[3] Craig also has a brand licensing deal to sell certain consumer goods under the Magnavox brand.[4]

In 2013, Craig Electronics, along with Curtis International and ViewSonic were sued for patent infringement by MPEG LA.[5]
