Finlux

In 1977, alongside the consumer electronics division, Lohja started manufacturing Electroluminescence (EL) displays after purchasing the development project, headed by Dr. Tuomo Suntola.

The EL displays were manufactured using the atomic layer deposition (ALD) process developed in the project, and were marketed also with the Finlux brand.

At that time the consumer electronics division of the Lohja group produced annually 170.000 TV sets with the Finlux and ASA brand names.

In 2006, the Turkish electronics company Vestel, owned by the Zorlu Holding corporate group, bought the Finlux brand.

Finlux sponsored Sheffield Wednesday Football Club from 1986 to 1988, with the unfortunate consequence that the brand name still appears on footage from the Hillsborough disaster.
