03/12/2026
Professional audio manufacturer Sennheiser Group plans to establish operations in Nashville, Tennessee. The $2.5 million project is expected to create at least 25 jobs.

The company’s new Americas Regional Hub will be located at the Rock Nashville production campus.

“Establishing our Americas Regional Hub in Nashville, and now, more specifically, within Rock Nashville, feels like a natural and exciting next step for Sennheiser. Nashville is a place where creativity, culture and community come together, and it is already home to so many of the artists, engineers and industry partners who inspire our work every day. By opening our office at Rock Nashville, we’re not simply expanding our presence in the Americas; we’re creating a welcoming, collaborative space designed to spark new ideas, bring us closer to our customers and support our long-term growth across the region,” Francine Seles, director of operations, Americas, Sennheiser said.

Sennheiser Group designs and manufactures microphones, headphones, wireless audio systems, and professional sound solutions. The company’s products are  used in music production, broadcasting, live events, gaming, and corporate communications, serving professionals, content creators, and everyday listeners.

“This project locating in Rock Nashville marks the beginning of a new era for entertainment companies across Tennessee or looking to come to Tennessee. Music and entertainment represent a major aspect of Nashville’s economy and culture, and we’re thrilled that Sennheiser has chosen to join this booming ecosystem. Thank you to Sennheiser leadership for choosing Tennessee, and we look forward to seeing all the success that follows today’s announcement,” noted Deputy Governor and TNECD Commissioner Stuart C. McWhorter.

“Nashville is known for its vibrant music industry, and Rock Nashville is proud to be a growing part of that. Our goal is to bring together the leaders who make today’s shows so spectacular. Sennheiser is known worldwide for their commitment to excellence within live entertainment. We are honored to have their company as part of our campus community as we enter a new phase for Nashville productions,” added Andrea Shirk, CEO and president, Rock Lititz/Rock Nashville.

“We are excited to welcome Sennheiser to Nashville. Working in partnership with the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development, the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, Nashville Electric Service and the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County furthers our shared commitment to fostering economic growth in the region. Sennheiser’s establishment here represents investment and the creation of job opportunities for the communities we serve. TVA is proud to support companies that contribute to the prosperity and vibrancy of our region,” Heidi Smith, vice president of economic development, TVA said.
