1954 was a big year for both companies. Fender launched the Stratocaster that year, and Thomann was founded the same year. Fender instruments landed in Thomann’s catalog not long after, and they’ve stayed there ever since. Thomann says it’s carried the brand with genuine conviction for more than 70 years now, and plenty of Thomann employees play Fender guitars themselves. https://www.gearnews.com/thomann-sues-fender-guitar
