In 2025, we are celebrating our 80th anniversary – eight decades of passion for sound and a strong sense of responsibility as an independent family-owned company. Throughout the 2024 fiscal year, we continued to consolidate our position in the professional audio market and introduced innovative solutions. Building the future of audio means investing in the future, which is why we are investing specifically in new products, digital processes, and our production sites in Germany and Romania. This year's annual report invites you to look back on a year full of transformation, vision, and sound innovation – and to get to know the Sennheiser Group as a company that has created unique audio experiences around the globe for eight decades.
