The Bose Story: Leading the Market in Quality Amidst Product Diversification

Bose has a simple mission: think of better solutions, create better products, help people enjoy the things they love. Founded in 1964, Bose is known globally as the most respected name in sound.

While best known for its products for the home and car, Bose entered the medical device industry over a year ago with the launch of its Bose Frames. What looks like an ordinary pair of sunglasses is actually a Class I medical device product that works like a pair of headphones but with UV protection properties. With both commercial and medical divisions, Bose needed to digitally transform itself quickly to eliminate data silos, speed products to market and meet safety regulations.
