Ortofon for acoustics, materials and micro mechanical assembly

The name Ortofon is derived from the Greek words “orto” (meaning "correct") and “fon” (meaning "sound"). Since the company was established in 1918 it has always worked with sound reproduction, starting with sound tracks for movies, over precision cutting heads for records, moving on to cartridges and components for the hearing aid industry. As part of this process, Ortofon developed skills in acoustics, small precision components, unique compounds for  technical rubber and micro mechanical assembly.

Ortofon is typical Danish specialized niche company, focused on customer service and providing flexibility.

The key benefit of working with our company is high level support for our customers.
