The soundbar market today is almost entirely dominated by Asian
production – most manufacturers stay silent on where their devices
are actually made, or have long since moved their own production
to Asia.
On this page, we introduce the only manufacturer we’re
aware of that publicly documents its production locations
– Canton from Germany.
Canton is one of the few exceptions with clearly communicated
European production sites for soundbars.
Good to know: Canton openly operates two
production sites – its main facility in Germany and a second one
in the Czech Republic. The company doesn’t specify which exact
site builds which soundbar model, but it’s transparent about
operating both, which is the standard we look for.
Good to know: Canton openly operates two
production sites in Germany and the Czech Republic – it doesn’t
break this down by exact model, but discloses both locations.

Special feature
One of the last independent German speaker brands
Canton is one of the last German speaker brands with genuine
production in Germany. The company openly operates two
manufacturing sites: its headquarters in Weilrod, where the
high-end Reference, Vento and Townus ranges are built in full,
and a second factory near Tachov in the Czech Republic, which
produces the more affordable GLE range. Canton doesn’t specify
exactly which site builds which soundbar model, but it’s
transparent about running both facilities – which is exactly the
kind of disclosure we look for. Founded in 1972 and still
family-owned today, Canton remains the only soundbar manufacturer
we’re aware of with this level of openly communicated European
production.
Canton openly runs two production sites – Weilrod, Germany, for
its high-end ranges, and a second factory in the Czech Republic
for entry-level models. The only soundbar brand we know of with
this level of open site disclosure.
