Brand properties

General info :
Pathé Marconi was a brand name used by Les Industries Musicales et Electriques Pathé-Marconi SA, abbreviated as IME Pathé-Marconi.

The Pathé record business was founded by brothers Charles and Émile Pathé, then owners of a successful bistro in Paris. In the mid-1890s, they began selling Edison and Columbia phonographs and accompanying cylinder records. Shortly thereafter, the brothers designed and sold their own phonographs. These incorporated elements of other brands. Soon after, they also started marketing pre-recorded cylinder records. By 1896 the Pathé brothers had offices and recording studios not only in Paris, but also in London, Milan, and St. Petersburg.

In 1905 the Pathé brothers entered the growing field of disc records.

In December 1928, the French and British Pathé phonograph assets were sold to the British Columbia Graphophone Company. In July 1929, the assets of the American Pathé record company were merged into the newly formed American Record Corporation. However, the Pathé and Pathé-Marconi records imprints continued in Italy. In 1931 the label continued as VCM group ('Voce de Maestro [His Master's Voice] - Columbia - Marconiphone').

The Pathé and Pathé-Marconi labels and catalogue still survive, first as imprints of EMI and now currently EMI's successor Parlophone Records. In 1967 EMI Italiana took control of the entire catalog. In turn, the Universal Music Group acquired EMI Italiana in 2013. The film division of Pathé Frères still survives in France.

In the 1970s the Pathé Marconi brand name was also found on music amplifiers, turntables, tape recorders and televisions.
