IMPACT ACOUSTIC®
IMPACT ACOUSTIC® is a Swiss company for high-performance, recyclable and circular acoustic solutions — founded in 2019 in Lucerne by Sven Erni and Jeffrey Ibañez (co-founders), with production facilities in Lucerne (Switzerland), the Philippines and Milan (Italy) as well as a prototyping laboratory in Switzerland. The core philosophy: upcycling single-use materials (PET bottles, cotton linters from textile production) into high-quality products for acoustic comfort.

Awards: Time Magazine — "Spark" acoustic light among the 300 inventions that make life better.
