GN

Founded in June 1869 as The Great Northern Telegraph Company (Det Store Nordiske Telegrafselskab A/S) by Danish industrial mogul Carl Frederik Tietgen, GN Group has evolved from a telegraph company into a global leader in intelligent audio solutions. Originally established as a merger of three telegraph companies, the company renamed to GN Store Nord in 1985 (GN = Great Nordic) to create a unified group identity. Headquartered at Lautrupbjerg 7, 2750 Ballerup, Denmark, north of Copenhagen, GN Group now employs over 7,000 people across more than 100 markets worldwide and is listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen (GN.CO). The company operates through three main divisions: GN Hearing (ReSound, Beltone, Interton, Danavox hearing aids), GN Audio (Jabra professional headsets and consumer audio), and Gaming & Consumer (SteelSeries gaming peripherals). Under CEO René Svendsen-Tune's leadership alongside CFO Marcus Desimoni, GN Group has pioneered groundbreaking innovations including the world's first 2.4 GHz hearing aid technology (2010) and the first Made for iPhone hearing aid (2014). The company's rich 150+ year heritage spans from telegraph communications to becoming the world's fourth-largest hearing aid manufacturer through ReSound, while establishing Jabra as a leading brand in professional audio and video collaboration solutions. GN Group continues driving innovation in intelligent hearing, audio, and video technologies, serving both medical hearing loss solutions and professional communication markets through advanced wireless technologies and AI-driven sound analysis, maintaining its position as a Danish telecommunications manufacturing pioneer serving global markets.
