Lachenal & Co.
Lachenal & Co. was a British firm producing concertinas from approximately 1850-1936. The firm was founded by Louis L. Lachenal, a Swiss emigrant to the United Kingdom, who arrived there in 1839, and by 1844 was working in support of the famous Wheatstone concertina firm before founding a supporting contract firm and by 1858, an independent firm.
Lachenal's innovations in concertina production led his company to become one of the most prolific concertina producers of the era.
