When it was created in 1927 ELNO was a brand of Lailler-Pecquet establishments which decided to invest in electro-acoustic technology due to the rise of talking cinema and the need for headsets for switchboards.
The origin of the ELNO brand would find the beginning of its acronym “EL” in the Etablissement Lailler-Pecquet and the “NO” would come from the name of the Swedish diplomat Raoul Nordling, one of the founding shareholders of the company.
History has remembered Nordling as the savior of the monuments of Paris in 1944 during the Liberation, the one who succeeded against all odds in convincing Governor Von Choltitz not to burn Paris.
