International Receiver Company was founded by Thomas Schwartz in 2006 with the vision to revolutionize the market for affordable consumer electronics. The mission was to provide the customers with new and innovative products in best Scandinavian design. At very attractive prices – not to forget. The vision and mission are still the same! Every day we strive to develop better design, better functions and added value. We are confident that we succeed.

International Receiver Company, today, is a leading Scandinavian consumer electronic brand. Looking into new markets.

Thomas has a penchant for electronics. What started as a childhood fascination, led him to travel the world to discover new affordable consumer electronics that he could introduce to the Scandinavian market. Early on in his ventures, he realised that affordable and well-designed products were hard to come by. Quality, aesthetics, and a reasonable price tag seemed mutually exclusive. That’s when he decided to create his own line of audio systems. Quality was a given, while simplicity in design and usability were the subtle cornerstones of his vision.

Creating the first radio was a meticulous process. Many proto types down the road, he landed on the first radio; a compact wall-mounted stereo, featuring the iconic aluminium base and black body that today, forms the backbone of the design line. The idea took off, and after careful testing the first products hit the market. Soon, it became clear that Thomas wasn’t the only one demanding good design, modern technology, and fair pricing. The users loved it. Today, the relentless entrepreneur has a clear vision. He wants to revolutionise the market for affordable consumer electronics. And with this goal and the original idea in sight, he continues to expand and develop the portfolio while venturing into new markets.

Beneath the surface

To audio enthusiast, the real beauty is inside. The encompassing acoustic performance will impress even the most selective listeners. All systems feature a clutter free platform to listen to either FM, DAB, Internet radio, or a separate audio source such as smartphones.  The reception is impeccable. And even the most compact device transforms that into captivating sound streams delivered with clarity and precision.

Product DNA

IRC is synonymous with both Scandinavian design and modern technology. A recognisable visual appearance – an iconic aluminium base and a black body – throughout the portfolio blended with high performing instruments constitutes the backbone of the IRC design philosophy.

The affordable line of audio systems is crafted to appeal to tech-savvy teenagers and design conscious adults alike for everyday use in an everyday house.
