Change of company name from NH Akustik + Design AG to Topakustik AG
30 years acoustics and design
Since the company’s establishment until well into the year 2020, the history of Topakustik AG was inextricably linked to Arthur Fries.
As an entrepreneur in the wood industry, Arthur Fries is unique in Switzerland. Possessing a keen instinct, he recognised the potential for acoustic products in the early 1990s when his Topakustik brand laid the groundwork for the success the company enjoys today. Arthur Fries put his stamp on the development of Topakustik AG for many years, both strategically and operationally.
In autumn 2020, the staff honoured and said good-bye to the innovative founder of their company. A strong bond remains between him and the company and we look forward to giving him a warm welcome on his visits.
