At Belkin International, we create products that help people realize the ability of technology and make people’s lives better, easier and more fulfilling. This has been Belkin’s mission since our inception in 1983. Belkin was founded by CEO, Chet Pipkin, in his parent’s garage. Even previously, Chet’s passion was driven by solving customer’s needs. He manufactured computer cable assemblies within the evenings and on weekends, and sold them to local computer manufacturers and dealers in response to the burgeoning pc market within the 1980’s. Since then, we’ve kept our southern California origins and are based in Playa Vista, right within the heart of the los angeles tech center. Today, Belkin International has three brands – Belkin, Linksys and WeMo – to boost the technology that connects us to the people, activities and experiences we love. Belkin products are renowned for his or her simplicity and easy use, while our Linksys brand helped make wireless connectivity mainstream around the globe. Our newest brand, WeMo, is that the leader in delivering customizable smart home experiences. Its product platform empowers people to observe, measure and manage their electronics, appliances and lighting at home and on-the-go.
