“Besides an excitement for culture and music there is a further essential value that we share with our customers in Canada – a passion for high-quality products. The Canadian customer has high expectations regarding quality, materials, finishing, sustainability and reliability of products, which makes this market particularly relevant to a premium brand like Sennheiser,” added Andreas Sennheiser. “We are therefore really pleased that the new office space offers our team here in Canada the possibility to be even closer to the market and to our customers.”
