Genz Benz Amplifiers were designed in Arizona between 1984 and 2015 by Jeff Genzler in Phoenix Arizona. Production eventually was assigned to a factory in Taiwan.
In 2003, the company was purchased by Kaman Corp. who were themselves acquired by Fender Musical Instrument Co. in 2008 and the headquarters moved to Scottsdale Arizona, home of the FMIC head offices.
In 2013 Genz Benz ceased production, and was succeeded in late 2015 by Genzler Amplification based in Brooklyn, New York.
