[edit] History
During the WWII the Brazilian government confiscated all German assets in Brazil. As the war ended, the government got into a deal to give back those assets to their real owners, one of those assets was the German company AEG an eletronic equipament manufacturer which its headquarters was located in Berlim was deeply involved in the German war goals.
In the end of the 40's decade, Telefunken International sent to Brazil, one of their board member called Felix Ewald, with a goal to start a company called Brasifunken which afterwards was named "Telefunken do Brasil".
Few years afterwards Felix Ewald was called back to Germany by Telefunken but he refused to go back to Germany, he retired from Telefunken, and together with a group of German friends he started a small factory of loudspeakers called Bravox to supply the radio stations under development at that time.
In 1964 Firmino Rocha de Freitas bought the company's stock from Felix Ewald business partners.
Then Felix Ewald created a Development & Research group, to explore new technologies, since then Bravox has followed its tradition.

During WWII the Brazilian government confiscated all the German assets in Brazil. When the war ended, with Germany defeated, the Brazilian government decided to revert those assets to their original owners. Among them there was the firm AEG, an electric and electronic equipment manufacturer deeply involved in the German war efforts, and co-owner (sometimes with Siemens) of the Telefunken corncerns all over in the world.
By the end of the 40's, Telefunken International sent to Brazil, one of their board member, mr Felix Ewald, with the task of starting a company called Brasifunken (afterwards named "Telefunken do Brasil").
Few years later Felix Ewald was asked to repatriate by Telefunken but he refused to go back, and retired from the company. Then, with a group of German friends, he founded a company for manufacturing loudspeakers. It was called Bravox and soon started to supply the broadcasters, very active at that time.
