Jabra is a Danish brand specializing in audio equipment and, more recently, videoconference systems. It is owned by GN Audio, a division of the Danish company GN Group.[3] Jabra engineers, manufactures, and markets wireless, true wireless, and corded headphones for consumers and business customers.

    1. History

Jabra Corporation, founded in 1983[1] and holding some patents,[4] was acquired by GN Audio in September 2000,[1] a division of the Danish company GN Group, founded by C. F. Tietgen in 1869 as the Great Northern Telegraph Company.[5] Jabra's manufacturing plant is located in China.[6]

In 2006, GN consolidated its Contact Center and Office headset division under the Jabra brand. A restructuring in 2008 established two divisions within Jabra, later named Enterprise and Consumer. This restructuring facilitated a greater focus on business-to-business and consumer markets respectively.[7][8] Since 2012, development has also been located in China.[6]

In early 2019, GN Audio acquired Altia Systems for approximately $125M,[9] adding videoconferencing products to their lineup. Later in the year, the first video product from the acquisition was announced, the Jabra PanaCast.[10]
