Unitron is a Canadian hearing aid manufacturer with worldwide operations headquartered in Waterloo Region, Canada. Originally founded in 1964, we’re proud of our legacy of excellence and commitment to outstanding product performance, design, and customer satisfaction.
Our story began in the early ’60s in Newfoundland, Canada when friends and business partners Fred Stork, Rolf Strothmann and Rolf Dohmer launched their first enterprise: Universal Electronics. Initially, they offered television and radio sales and repairs, but it wasn’t long before they discovered a new opportunity. Amplification technology was quickly evolving, and Canada was an untapped market for hearing instruments.
In 1964, they formed Unitron Industries and soon moved to their new headquarters in Kitchener, Ontario – and we’ve been there ever since.
