About SANAKO

SANAKO’s mission is to ensure that we provide the means for people to access learning opportunities, from the grade school to the boardroom, and at every stage in between. We are confident that through education and specifically equality of access to learning we can increase opportunity for all and foster a more tolerant and understanding global society. This conviction has involved us in many projects to expand the reach of education in emerging nations.  During our 40 years in this industry, we have developed a high degree of professionalism in our work. This approach, coupled with our contacts with customers, teaching professionals and educational policy-makers on a global scale has kept us at the forefront of this industry.

In the course of our experiences, we have come to see that the integration of technology with the learning process has the potential to increase participants’ motivation and involvement in the process and thereby enhances its effectiveness. With the close collaboration of our customers, we have been at the forefront of developing new digital solutions including language teaching systems, that offer a much wider variety of activities than was ever possible before.

Our virtual solutions transcend the limitations of the physical classroom or training room to offer more people access to learning, whether by way of personalized training programs, or through being able to enroll for less commonly taught subjects.

Our success in the field of language learning is based on its strong technical capabilities developed since the first educational lab was built by Tandberg in 1961. Our digital language labs are specially engineered for longevity in the classroom setting, and because clear audio is a critical element in language teaching, we have paid close attention to ensuring quality sound reproduction in all our systems.

Our first-rate products and service have also been supported by a global network of knowledgeable and experienced distributors. Our product development partners have included the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Microsoft, and California State University.

The company’s head office is located in Turku, Finland with sales offices in Bradford (UK), Dubai (United Arab Emirates), Espoo (Finland), Lyon (France), Moscow (Russia), New York (USA), Shanghai (China), and São Paulo (Brazil).
