The history of our brand goes back to Japan in the 1970s, where Stagg began life as a guitar company, creating a wide range of iconic models. In 1995, Leonardo Baldocci, the founder and chairman of renowned worldwide Belgian music distribution group EMD Music, relaunched and expanded the brand, with a mission to offer quality instruments, audio and lighting, and accessories at an affordable cost. Today, the Stagg brand is available in over seventy countries and has over 120 employees at its headquarters in Brussels, Belgium and around the world.
