Supporting the Circular Economy Without Compromising Sound Quality
Our long-term commitment to sustainable manufacturing means we continue to offer maintenance services for products even decades after their production. We still repair loudspeakers manufactured as far back as 1978, the year our company was founded! By designing durable and serviceable loudspeakers and supporting them with genuine spare parts, we ensure they will reproduce sound cleanly and accurately for many more years to come.
From the timeless design and unparalleled precision of classic models to the advanced technology of our newer loudspeakers, the Certified Pre-Owned™ range offers something special for any listener.
By choosing a Certified Pre-Owned™ loudspeaker, you are also making an environmentally conscious decision.
Sustainability is as Important as Profitability and Sound Quality
At Genelec, we regard sustainability as equally important as profitability and sound quality. This long-standing principle stems from the life experience of our co-founder, Ilpo Martikainen, who grew up on a farm where the annual cycle highlighted the importance of sustainable practice. We uphold these same values in all our operations. Across all aspects of our production – from material selection to manufacturing processes – we ensure that our activities are environmentally conscious. Our commitment to sustainability reflects not only our respect for nature but also our dedication to advancing the entire audio technology industry into the future.
“Despite advancements in technology and significant achievements across various fields, humanity remains dependent on nature and its diversity, as it provides our daily sustenance. The natural cycle is visible around us every day. The land must be prepared,sown, fertilised, watered and weeded, and only then can the harvest be reaped. I grew up in the countryside as part of this annual cycle. I am deeply committed to practical actions such as planting thousands of tree seedlings every spring as part of forest management and increasing carbon sinks. Such hands-on work in nature brings the concept of sustainability into a tangible reality and even inspires ideas, for instance, about using new materials for loudspeaker enclosures.” – Ilpo Martikainen, 2012.
