”A sound effect on people”is our promise Since its inception in 1958, our company has been continuously working to improve the acoustic environment in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, restaurants, theatres, factories and other premises. People and sound An optimum acoustic and light environment, with a focus on comfort, efficiency and well-being, these are the main values that have a positive impact on indoor environments where people spend time, socialize, and work. This is also the basis for our production of acoustic systems for ceilings and walls. Ecophon acoustic systems consist of tiles with a core of glass wool, one of the most sound-absorbing materials available, painted with various types of surface layer. Depending on the room’s characteristics, human needs, and the activity involved, Ecophon has also
introduced the Room Acoustic Comfort™ concept as an approach to measuring and assessing the inputs required to achieve the best possible acoustic environment in different cases. Focusing on the environment Our promise of “a sound effect on people” is at the heart of our efforts to reduce our own environmental impact and to develop sustainable products, with the same passion and commitment we bring to every aspect of our business. We count on your cooperation so that we can accomplish this goal together. Since climate change is now widely recognized as the major environmental problem facing the globe, we have chosen, together with several other important efforts, to focus on the carbon footprint of our products. We can demonstrate areas in which we are performing well, the aspects which we want to improve, and also our environmental targets for the years ahead.
