G.R.A.S. Sound & Vibration UK Ltd was launched in July 2014 as the new UK subsidiary of G.R.A.S. Sound & Vibration A/S in Denmark, a world leading manufacturer of microphones. We set up G.R.A.S. UK to both help us to better serve our UK clients and as a key strategic element of our plan to increase UK market share.
Since its establishment in 1994, G.R.A.S. has been totally dedicated to the development and manufacture of high-quality measurement microphones and related acoustic equipment. It was founded by the Danish acoustics pioneer Gunnar Rasmussen who has been a major contributor to the world of sound and vibration with his unique ideas and designs. From the first reproducible 1” condenser measurement microphone that enabled quality measurements and instrumentation for acoustic calibration, Gunnar’s ingenuity and foresight led to the world’s most popular acoustic sensor: the 1/2” measurement microphone. The 1/4” and 1/8” microphones followed with outstanding dynamic and high-frequency capability that brought higher definition and transparency into impulse noise diagnostics. Many variants have been made available over the years; all based on Gunnar’s original 1” pressure microphone design.
G.R.A.S. products have been distributed for many years in the UK by Campbell Associates and AcSoft, both highly respected leaders in their fields. Campbell Associates has traditionally specialised in the environmental and laboratory marketplaces with AcSoft working in the Automotive and Aerospace industries. This new business venture allows G.R.A.S. to focus on other industry sectors whilst maintaining their strategic alliance with Campbell and AcSoft.
The new UK subsidiary further builds the international business of G.R.A.S. and runs alongside current ventures in the USA, China and Germany. This is a major step for G.R.A.S. to further increase market share in the UK.
At G.R.A.S. we pride ourselves in our worldwide reputation for product innovation. We understand the needs of our customers and strive to ensure that our products meet both current and future market needs.
