About Horn Distribution S.A.

Since you're here, you probably care about the quality with which you play your favorite music or watch movies. It's just like us. We share a passion for excellent sound, picture, and the equipment that reproduces them, which we are pleased to offer... But let's start from the beginning...

We have come a long way since the moment when, in 1991, from a personal passion for excellent sound and the first sales activities, Horn became one of the largest and fastest-growing private multichannel distribution companies in the audio-video industry in Poland.

What we are best at

Our specialty is the distribution of modern audio-video devices and accessories for home use and car installation, but also other products for the modern lifestyle from the category of Smart Home.

In our offer, you will find products of the most recognized and respected brands in the world. Currently, Horn Distribution S.A. is an exclusive distributor of over 40 of them. The full presentation of our product portfolio can be found here.

We are Europeans from Poland

Horn Distribution S.A. is the core of a group of related companies actively operating in Poland and a total of 17 European markets

In Poland, the group also includes the distribution company FNCE S.A. with a related business scope and Audio Video Design Sp. z o.o., the operator of two audio-video retail store chains, Denon Store and Audio-Forum.

Teams of associates in sister companies of the Horn Group develop our distribution and retail operations in Hungary, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Germany, Romania, Finland and the Netherlands. Our sales teams can also be found working in Latvia, Estonia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, and the rest of the Benelux.

We are a big family

Behind our successes is a close-knit team of people who are passionate and committed to helping music, film, and technology lovers realize their dreams and needs. We make it easy to choose the right equipment, we educate and care about the safety of purchases, and if necessary, we offer any help with additional services and maintenance. We have over 100 people in Poland and almost as many in our foreign companies.

We are specialists in various fields, speak many languages, and represent different cultures. We are efficiently organized into numerous departments from logistics and warehouse through service, marketing, product management, and sales department to accounting and administration. We are united by one thing - passion for working for the benefit of people passionate about good sound.

This is what we like to brag about

Since 1998, we have owned our buildings: an office building with warehouse and service, and since 2017, a new headquarters with a larger office building connected to a second modern warehouse.

We are proud to have our own extensive and well-equipped service providing warranty and post-warranty services for products of the vast majority of represented brands. Thanks to this we can offer our customers the possibility of extending the warranty free of charge up to 5, and in the case of some products even 10 years. Do you want to know more? Click

We have been writing our history over 30 years

Horn Distribution started in 1991 when the founder's passion began to transform from a personal hobby into a modern company. The company grew rapidly in the nineties, at a time when entrepreneurship was booming in Poland. Thanks to the trust of our customers and foreign partners we started our distribution mission from a few brands such as Alpine, Denon, or Mark Levinson - they set the bar high and allowed us to grow to the current level.

Currently, we have a sizable and specially selected product portfolio in distribution, knowledge of the markets, our own well-organized facilities and the collective experience of our teams to surely develop our operations for years to come.
