The story of Antiphon began in October 1960 in a cramped workshop near Koppom in Värmland. The range of products was broad. Everything from fans to tyre studs and anti-fog windows was manufactured here. The transition to today’s product range started in the late 1960s with early versions of laminated sheet metal and structure-borne sound-damping pads.
Since then, the company has passed a number of milestones and has developed into a modern and well-renowned supplier of advanced sound insulation materials and NVH solutions, with customers all over the world.
