Innovation is key to the Focal sound. For 25 years, through the constant
pursuit of new advances in technology, Focal has been able to develop a
harmonious research and production system that enables us to continuously
improve our products and introduce new ones and all with the same goal: the
most accurate reproduction of music.
This constant pursuit of innovation embodies Focal’s corporate strategy and
involves every facet of our company. From R&D and production to quality
control, all of their teams are fully involved and focused on one objective:
Continual Progress through Innovation.
In today’s world, where globalization and the pursuit of chasing cheaper
production methods have tempted most companies to splinter their
organizations, Focal has opted to be different. Though they have grown and
expanded tremendously through the years, their headquarters, R&D, and
manufacturing facilities still remain based in Saint-Etienne, France.
Focal have learned that true innovation is not simply work carried out at
the research level, but also a comprehensive management and direct control
of all the different production phases. The latest example of this
philosophy has been the introduction of Beryllium in their top products,
which has now become the worldwide reference. It was not long ago that no
company was even capable of producing tweeters with a pure Beryllium foil
dome. Focal innovated a solution based on research and the invention of
specific in-house industrial processes. Such an approach has given them an
important advantage over the competition: Focal developed propriety
technology, which allows them to consistently produce quality products using
methods that they have created.
This is the Focal difference…and this difference is the core strength of
the Brand and the Company. This is the Spirit of Sound. No wonder, they draw
unabashed, jaw-dropping attention. The only question that remains is, ‘How
high are your standards?’ |
