Peltor
Swedish hearing protection innovation since 1950
Peltor is one of the world's most trusted names in hearing protection. Founded in 1950 by Tore Palmaer, who designed one of the world's first hearing protectors with built-in communication. From a small workshop in Uppland, Peltor grew into a world-leading manufacturer, with production in Värnamo, Sweden. Since 2008 Peltor has been part of 3M and is marketed as 3M Peltor, but the Swedish engineering heritage and focus on sound attenuation live on.
A hearing-protection pioneer
Peltor founder Tore Palmaer invented one of the world's first hearing protectors with built-in communication after seeing how aircraft noise disrupted contact between pilots and ground crew.
The Optime series
The colour-coded Optime range (Optime I, II and III) is an industry benchmark for passive hearing protection, covering everything from moderate to very high noise levels.
Swedish engineering, global reach
Rooted in Värnamo and part of 3M since 2008, Peltor combines Swedish sound-attenuation tradition with global manufacturing and quality assurance.
