Specialist for room acoustics made of wood
akustikplus GmbH & Co. KG, based in Stephanskirchen in the Bavarian Alpine foothills, is a specialised company for the development, manufacture and distribution of acoustically effective products made of wood and wood-based materials. The portfolio includes slotted acoustic panels (smartline, slimline), micro-perforated large-format acoustic boards (proline) and felt panels with MDF slats on PET absorbers (designline). Production takes place on specially developed CNC drilling centres, including micro-perforation with up to 294,118 holes per square metre; with the Akustographie drilling process, lettering and typography can also be realised. Materials used include MDF carrier boards, solid wood veneers (including oak, silver fir, walnut, maple), CPL, melamine and PET fibre with recycled content. In addition to standard products, the company offers custom manufacturing, acoustic consulting, on-site acoustic measurements and planning tools such as an acoustic calculator. Reference projects range from the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg to schools and offices to public buildings in more than 32 countries. Since 2021, akustikplus has been part of the HAMBERGER Industriewerke Group; the entire production was relocated to Stephanskirchen in 2023.
