The history of Zildjian began in 1623 when Avedis I started the business in a foundry in Samatya, a suburb of Constantinople.

In 1929 the family business was transferred to the United States, first in Quincy and then, in 1973, in Norwell, also in the state of Massachusetts.

Thanks to important and profitable relationships with Artists and a tireless work of Research and Development, Zildjian reinvents the musical plate and moulds it incessantly according to the needs and trends of the music scene.
