3M Peltor WS LiteCom Plus headset

The 3M Peltor WS LiteCom Plus is a high-performance hearing protector that integrates a two-way radio and Bluetooth technology for professional communication in noisy environments. The Peltor brand originated in Värnamo, Sweden, where it was founded in 1950 by Sture Ericsson. The company initially focused on simple hearing protection but quickly became a global leader in specialized communication headsets for industrial and military use.

In 2008, the Peltor brand was acquired by 3M, a major American multinational conglomerate, as part of its acquisition of Aearo Technologies. While 3M is headquartered in the United States, Peltor's operations maintain a strong presence in Sweden, where the research and much of the specialized manufacturing still occur. Depending on the specific market and regional demand, production may also take place in other global 3M facilities, including the United States and Poland.
