Binatone

Binatone is a British-Chinese telecommunications company. Binatone was started in the United Kingdom in 1958 by two brothers, Gulu Lalvani and Partap Lalvani, to import and distribute consumer electronics. The company was named after Gulu and partap's sister Bina.

Between 1976 and 1979, Binatone produced the "Binatone TV Master" series of first generation video game consoles.

In 1983 Binatone was the first in Europe with fixed-line consumer products that could be bought at electronics retailers. This marked the beginning of a gradual change from Binatone's focus on audio and vision to telecom products.

Dino Lavani, the son of Gulu, purchased Binatone from his father in 2000 and assumed the position of chairman.
