  • Past, Present and Future Harman International 2004 Annual Report
    Harman International 2004 Annual Report Past, Present and Future Our cover is a rendering of the new Shanghai, China Oriental Arts Center. Now under construction for the 2008 Olympics, it will incorporate two concert halls, an opera house and an eleven hundred seat theater. The Oriental Arts Center is one of many totally new theatres, athletic stadia and performing art centers being built to serve the most expansive Olympics in history. Harman International has received a number of significant awards and we expect to be very well represented. China is a compelling and sometimes tantalizing story for everyone. Our past, our present and our future are writ large there. Ten years ago Harman found a voracious market for our quality home audio equipment. That was the past. Numbers of very competent Chinese manufactures have developed in the years since, and have produced excellent products with increasingly recognized Chinese brand names. That is not a promising busi- ness situation for us, although our upcoming new media centers may generate revived interest—at least for a time. Our present is represented on the cover of this report. As China surges economically, its need for supportive infrastructure grows exponentially. Our professional systems are without peer, and we expect that part of our business to grow and flourish everywhere, but especially in China. It is clearly our present. The great opportunity before us, not surprisingly, is in automotive. Predictably, China is developing as a major market for automobiles and, consequently, for our Infotainment systems. We are the leader in Europe today and we are confident that we will be the leader in North America.

  • Harman International's AKG Brand Earns Technical GRAMMY Award
    Harman International’s AKG Brand Earns Technical GRAMMY Award Amidst Star-Studded Weekend STAMFORD, CT – Harman International (NYSE:HAR) announced today that the company’s AKG® brand was honored by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences with a Technical GRAMMY® Award during the Academy’s 2010 festivities this past weekend. Dinesh C. Paliwal, Chairman, President and CEO of Harman, accepted the award on behalf of AKG during the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Week festivities in Los Angeles. “We are deeply honored to again be recognized for more than 60 years of contribution to the science of sound,”said Paliwal.“AKG microphones and headphones perform with the world’s top entertainers, and we are delighted to help them deliver the lasting impressions that audio creates within our culture. Music has the ability to touch people deeply, and we are grateful to help share its power with fans around the world.” The Technical GRAMMY Award recognizes AKG’s contributions to the art and science of music recording and performance through innovation and excellence in product design. Only one other such award was presented during the 2010 GRAMMY festivities, awarded posthumously to Thomas Edison, inventor of the phonograph, early motion picture technologies, and the incandescent light. The award capped a busy weekend for Harman in its role as an Official Sound Partner to the 52nd annual GRAMMYs. Harman also served as title sponsor for the Clive-Davis/Recording Academy Pre-GRAMMY Gala in Los Angeles, and previewed its premium audio products in the GRAMMY VIP gifting suite. The company’s Harman Kardon brand helped stretch the action coast to coast as sponsor of an exclusive GRAMMY Viewing Party at the Hard Rock Café on New York’s Times Square.
