Based in Helsingborg, Sweden, Saint-Gobain Ecophon is a global leader in acoustic solutions with six decades of expertise in shaping sound environments. Beyond product manufacturing, Ecophon introduces forward-thinking technologies that prioritise human well-being and efficiency at work. The slogan ‘A sound effect on people’ reflects Ecophon’s core philosophy: a commitment to creating acoustic environments that serve people first, transcending that of a meagre marketing punch line. From offices, hospitals, and schools, to commercial and artistic spaces such as restaurants and performance halls, Ecophon delivers bespoke acoustic solutions calibrated to each spatial context.
More than simply mitigating noise, Ecophon’s solutions are designed to enhance overall well-being—improving concentration, reducing stress, and facilitating communication. Every student deserves to hear the teacher clearly; every patient has the right to recover without stress caused by noise; every office worker, to concentrate and collaborate; every childcare provider, to listen attentively. No factory worker should risk their safety due to excessive noise. These are the conditions Ecophon exists to realise. With offices in 30 countries and business operations across 20 of them, Ecophon delivers regionally attuned solutions through its 1,100 employees worldwide. In Korea, its acoustic systems are introduced via Saint-Gobain ISOVER Korea. Ecophon’s lineup includes the foundational acoustic ceiling tile Advantage™, the free-hanging Solo™ for flexible spatial expression, the wall-mounted Akusto Wall™, and Focus™, a versatile system with a range of design and installation options. The newly introduced Fade™ is a spray-applied solution that supports full-spectrum colour customisation and achieves a seamless, clean interior finish.
Ecophon leads in sustainable innovation, working with the Saint-Gobain Group towards carbon neutrality through minimised resource consumption and waste. The Focus™ A and E series notably offer some of the market’s lowest carbon emissions – achieving a 43% reduction in carbon footprint per EPD standards – thanks to technologies such as low-carbon steel and biogas-based production. Ecophon is not just creating products, it is designing the future of sound for people and the planet. Further information: www.isover.co.kr
