The Company

Since more than 65 years, the name Sennheiser stands for products and solutions in all branches of recording, transmission and the playing of sound. As one of the leading suppliers of complete solutions for electroacoustic products, systems and services, Sennheiser constantly takes the challenge to deliver creative solutions for the requirements and desires of its costumers. It is the company’s manifested goal to provide a unique sound experience to people all across the world.

In January 2011, Sennheiser introduced a new global organisational structure of the company. In order to be able to act more goal- and customer-oriented, three business divisions for the markets “consumer electronics”, “professional systems” and “installed sound” were established. Additionally, the divisions “sales”, “supply chains”, “corporate services” and “strategy and finance” make the new structure of Sennheiser electronics GmbH & Co. KG complete. These independent organisational units provide for a greater focus on the requirements of clients and markets and thereby lay the foundation for sustainable growth of the company.
