AN AWARD-WINNING Scottish speaker manufacturer has opened its new factory doors in Glasgow for the first time.
Founded in 2017, Fyne Audio creates hand-crafted loudspeakers that music enthusiasts and audiophiles enjoy worldwide.
Best known for its “unrivalled bass reproduction” the technology firm's new manufacturing facility in Bellshill aims to help keep up with the “growing demand” for its “world-class” speakers.
The newly opened site spans nearly 50,000 square feet with more than 20,000 square feet of working space, including dedicated warehousing, manufacturing, and engineering facilities.

Managing director of Fyne Audio, Anji Sosna, said along with the opening of the factory Fyne Audio is looking to hire more people in the local community to work in engineering, manufacturing, and logistics.
He said: “We're thrilled to unveil our new factory, which represents the culmination of years of hard work and considerable financial investment.
“This expansion allows us to not only meet the growing global demand for our products but also reinforces our position as a leading manufacturer of British-made hi-fi. The increased capacity will enable us to produce considerably more units from premium UK-made loudspeaker series.”
The company also has plans to install 400 solar panels on the factory roof in a bid to power the full site using renewable energy.
The factory’s facilities include a bespoke demonstration room where visitors can experience Fyne Audio’s loudspeakers in action.
It also houses Fyne’s engineering labs, an in-house deep cryogenic treatment chamber, and expanded workstations.
“By bringing everything under one roof in the UK, we’re improving not only efficiency but also the overall quality and control of the entire production process,” Sosna said.
He added: “We’ve always been focused on pushing the boundaries of loudspeaker technology, and this new facility will allow us to continue that journey.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
