Fyne Audio Opens New Scottish Factory

New Glasgow factory opens for award-winning Scottish loudspeaker brand, exporting to 45 countries around the world.

21st October 2024 – Glasgow, Scotland: Fyne Audio, the award-winning Scottish loudspeaker manufacturer, is proud to announce the opening of its new factory in Glasgow, a significant milestone that doubles the company’s UK production capacity.

Since its founding in 2017, Fyne Audio has continued to grow its market presence, offering hand-crafted, high-quality loudspeakers that music enthusiasts and audiophiles worldwide have embraced. This new facility strengthens the company’s commitment to manufacturing in the UK, bringing more employment opportunities to the Glasgow area and installing the foundation for the brand’s long-term success.

The newly opened site spans nearly 50,000 square feet with over 20,000 square feet of working space, including dedicated warehousing, manufacturing, and engineering facilities – with room to expand. The substantial investment in this new facility is a testament to Fyne Audio’s unwavering commitment to building world-class loudspeakers in Scotland, purchasing the new site outright as a long-term commitment to the area.

The move brings many of Fyne’s loudspeaker production processes under one roof, from design and engineering to assembly and testing, allowing for greater efficiency and control over quality.

"We're thrilled to unveil our new factory, which represents the culmination of years of hard work and a considerable financial investment," said Anji Sosna, Managing Director of Fyne Audio. "This expansion allows us to not only meet the growing global demand for our products but also reinforces our position as a leading manufacturer of British-made hi-fi. The increased capacity will enable us to produce considerably more units from premium UK-made loudspeaker series, providing better service to our 45 distributors worldwide, as well as ensuring quicker delivery times for our customers."

Since its launch in 2017, Fyne Audio has developed its premium loudspeaker ranges around its innovative point-source IsoFlare driver technology and loudspeakers built in Scotland. With several technical patents in audio engineering, including its BassTrax porting system for unrivalled bass reproduction, the brand’s products have received glowing audio press reviews around the world. Fyne Audio now exports loudspeakers around the globe, across Europe and from the USA to Asia.

Expansion Plans

Fyne Audio's new facility in the Bellshill area has been designed with future expansion in mind, including room for additional manufacturing capacity and office space. The company also has plans to install 400 solar panels on the factory roof, further enhancing its sustainability efforts by generating enough electricity to power the entire operation and beyond. Once completed, this initiative will position Fyne Audio as a leader in environmentally friendly manufacturing in the hi-fi industry.

The new factory includes a bespoke demonstration facility where dealers and visitors can experience Fyne Audio’s premium loudspeakers in action. The facility also houses Fyne’s engineering labs, an in-house Deep Cryogenic Treatment chamber, and expanded workstations, allowing the company to streamline production and improve operational efficiency.

"By bringing everything under one roof in the UK, we’re improving not only efficiency but also the overall quality and control of the entire production process," added Anji

The company's success is driven by its commitment to producing high-performance products built in the UK and its bold strategy to invest in local manufacturing. As part of its expansion, Fyne Audio is creating more jobs in Glasgow, contributing to the local economy and offering new opportunities in engineering, manufacturing, and logistics.

“We’ve always been focused on pushing the boundaries of loudspeaker technology, and this new facility will allow us to continue that journey,” said Anji. “We invite our partners, distributors and retailers to visit and see firsthand the investment we've made in ensuring Fyne Audio’s future success.”

This substantial investment marks a major milestone in Fyne Audio’s journey, setting the stage for continued international success, innovation, and sustainable growth.
