About Guillemot Corporation

Guillemot Corporation is a French group specialized in the design and manufacturing of interactive entertainment hardware and accessories. Listed on the stock market since 1998, the company has been active in this field since 1984. Its business model is built around two flagship brands: Hercules, which focuses on digital audio solutions, peripherals and the DJing/streaming ecosystem, and Thrustmaster, which targets gaming accessories for PC and consoles, including racing wheels, joysticks, flight sticks and other control devices. The group also offers Djuced, a range of software and hardware solutions for connected DJs. The company was founded in 1984 in Carentoir, Brittany, by Claude Guillemot and his four brothers.
