Pathé was originally founded in Paris, France on September 28, 1896 by bothers Charles, Émile, Théophile and Jacques Pathé, during the first part of the 20th century.
Pathé later became the largest film equipment and production company in the world as well as a key producer of phonograph records.

Successful, he saw the opportunities that new means of entertainment offered and in particular by the fledgling motion picture industry. Having decided to expand the record business to include film equipment, Charles Pathé oversaw a rapid expansion of the company.
