Aalto Technosystems Oy<\/strong> was founded in November 2020 when a group of industry players were dissatisfied with the fact that things were not being done well enough. The development of speakers had stagnated, and often companies in the industry lacked long-term planning in their business. We decided to go all-in with our expertise.<\/p>

Our first speaker model, Aalto 1 PRO, saw the light of day in the spring of 2021.<\/p>

In 2023, Aalto underwent significant changes due to business acquisitions, and currently, it is owned by Suomen Kaiutintehdas Oy. This strategic move opened doors to new opportunities and brought in a new chief designer, Kimmo Saunisto, who also serves as the chief designer of Suomen Kaiutintehdas. Saunisto brought with him extensive expertise and an innovative vision to the world of speakers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
