Since 1976
“High-quality sound furniture, whose sound quality is strongly related to the musical original.”
01
Nearly 50 years of development
Phonar's story began in 1976 as Scan Akustik in Tarp, northern Germany, building speakers for well-known consumer electronics brands. In 1983, founder Klaus Henningsen launched Phonar Akustik GmbH as an independent brand in its own right.
02
A family business, still in Tarp
Now run by Kai Henningsen, the company operates from its original grounds in Tarp with around 15 employees across 5,000 sqm — exporting to many European countries, with a foreign sales share of around 40%.
