I'd like to offer warm congratulations to Juho, Maria and Mikko for this award. Genelec is a great Finnish company and brand, with strong roots - and above all a great product, said Niemist . Genelec has a strong commitment to research and development, and its manufacturing facility has remained in the Finnish city of Iisalmi since the company's birth in 1978.
