SAMICK

發展與歷史

• 1958 年創立於韓國，最初以鋼琴製造為核心，後來逐步擴展至吉他及其他樂器領域。

• 至 1980 年代，Samick 已成為全球最大鋼琴製造商之一，並將產品出口至世界各地。

• 公司亦收購或合作多個知名品牌，如 Wm. Knabe & Co.、Pramberger、Kohler & Campbell、Seiler，藉此強化設計與技術基礎。

製造基地

• 韓國：總部所在地，亦設有三角鋼琴生產線。

• 印尼（茂物、Cileungsi）：自 1992 年起成為 Samick 最大的生產中心，目前大部分鋼琴均於此製造。

• 美國（田納西州/ Tennessee）：設有小型工廠，主要負責北美市場業務，並有限度生產 Knabe 品牌鋼琴。

• 年產量曾超過 20,000 架鋼琴，使 Samick 成為全球產量最龐大的製造商之一。

品質與工藝

• 材料與製作：採用優質木材（楓木、雲杉、玫瑰木、黑檀），結合傳統手工工藝與現代化技術。

• 音色：以溫暖、共鳴感強且音色飽滿著稱，適合初學者與進階演奏者。

• 耐用性：堅固的鋼架、精心設計的音板，以及嚴格的品質控管，確保樂器經久耐用。

• 產品範圍：涵蓋從入門直立鋼琴至音樂會用三角鋼琴，兼顧價格與性能。

• 市場評價：雖未必能與 Yamaha、Kawai 等品牌並列，但 Samick 以高性價比與可靠性廣受肯定。

全球地位

• 銷售網絡遍及 80 多個國家，國際影響力顯著。

• 2010 年收購 Steinway Musical Instruments 股份，進一步鞏固其在鋼琴產業的地位。

總結而言，Samick 鋼琴融合韓國創新、印尼大規模製造與全球品牌合作，憑藉紮實工藝、合理價格與優美音色，成為學生、教育機構乃至專業音樂人追求品質而不願支付高昂價格時的理想選擇。

Made by: Samick Musical Instrument Mfg. Co. Ltd., Inchon, South Korea;
and Bogor, West Java, Indonesia

In 1958 Hyo Ick Lee established the Samick Instrument Music Co. in Inchon, Korea. He began as a piano distributor, and by 1960 began building his own upright pianos under the name Horugel. Samick worked on the expansion of his production and facilities and shipped several pianos to Hong in 1964, becoming the first Korean piano exporter. In the early 1970s, he introduced the Samick brand, using that name exclusively by 1973.

Over the next 30 years Samick continued to expand and improve, producing upright pianos, grand pianos and digital pianos and opening more cost efficient plants in Indonesia and China.
By 1989 Samick established Samick USA in the City of Industry, California. In 1995, Samick opened a factory in Indonesia for the production of pianos and guitars. By 1997, production of pianos in the USA moved to Indonesia.

In 2002 Samick and C. Bechstein, a major European piano manufacturer, each acquired a financial interest in the other and agreed to cooperate on technical issues and marketing.
In 2004 Samick reorganized as Samick Music Corp. (SMC). Names used on pianos made by Samick have included: Kohler & Campbell, Conover Cable, Otto Altenburg, Ottostein, Charles Albrecht, Schultz & Sons, Schafer & Sons (for the Colton Piano & Organ Co. from 1974-1989), Howard (grands for Baldwin in the 1980s), Wurlitzer (grands for Baldwin starting in 1996), Willis and Sons, Horugel, Stegler, Wesberg, Story & Clark grands, Schubert, Schumann, Alex Steinbach, Hazelton Bros., Hyundai/Maeari, DH Baldwin, Bernhard Steiner, Grinnell Bros., C. Bechstein (as of 2002), Wm. Knabe, Sohmer & Co. (as of 2003 when Samick Korea was reorganized), Remington and Pramberger (as of 2005).

In 2008 Samick acquired the German brand, Seiler, for distribution in North America as well. They built warehousing and offices in Tennessee, assembling certain Knabe and Pramberger grand piano lines there using parts from Korea, Indonesia and other countries. While Samick says it will continue to make some pianos in Korea, it is gradually moving most of its production to Indonesia. Samick has become one of the world’s largest piano manufacturers.
