The story
Founded by Woody Norris in 1983.1
Jabra Corporation was founded in the United States in 1983 as Norcom Electronics Corporation of America by the inventor and entrepreneur Woody Norris. The company, holding several patents, was acquired by GN Audio in September 2000, a division of the Danish company GN Group, founded by C. F. Tietgen in 1869 as the Great Northern Telegraph Company. Jabra's manufacturing plant is located in China.
In 2006, GN consolidated its Contact Center and Office headset division under the Jabra brand. A restructuring in 2008 established two divisions within Jabra, later named Enterprise and Consumer. This restructuring facilitated a greater focus on business-to-business and consumer markets respectively. Since 2012, development has also been located in China.
In early 2019, GN Audio acquired Altia Systems for approximately US$125 million, adding videoconferencing products to their lineup. Later in 2019, the first video product from the acquisition was announced, the Jabra PanaCast.
