Canton
Based in Weilrod, near Frankfurt, Canton is one of Germany’s foremost manufacturers of high-performance loudspeakers.
The company was formed in 1972 by four hi-fi enthusiasts, one of whom – Günther Seitz – is the company’s CEO, 47 years on. Canton has been responsible for several milestones throughout its history, including the world’s first sub/sat speaker system in 1979 and pioneering work in the field of digital loudspeakers in the 1990s. This century, the company has developed a number of advanced materials for drive unit diaphragms, including a ceramic-tungsten and titanium hybrid. Though well-known for its high-end stereo loudspeakers, a significant portion of Canton’s turnover during the last 20 years has been generated by home cinema speaker solutions, including its highly respected, multi-award-winning soundbars and soundbases.
