Sonexos Appoints Andrea Onetti as COO to Lead Global Operations & Commercialisation of Plasmapanel

Respected Leader in Audio Electronics to Drive Market Expansion of Sonexos’ AI-Driven Solid-State Active Noise Control Solutions

Lausanne, Switzerland – May 12, 2025 — Sonexos, a pioneer in solid-state, plasma-based active noise control technologies, today announced the appointment of Andrea Onetti as Chief Operating Officer. In this role, Andrea will lead the company’s global operations and drive the industrialisation and commercialisation of its patented Plasmacoustic™ technology as the company moves from advanced R&D to full-scale industrialisation.

Plasmacoustic™ technology marks a significant breakthrough in active broadband sound control, enabling compact, non-mechanical solutions for complex acoustic environments. Its first commercial platform, Plasmapanel®, integrates this technology into an AI-driven, solid-state solution for active noise control—targeting high-impact applications across consumer and domestic appliances, industrial systems, and automotive interiors.

Andrea brings more than 30 years of executive leadership experience, including his tenure as Executive Vice President and General Manager of the MEMS Sub-Group at STMicroelectronics. His track record in scaling complex, high-volume product platforms across MEMS sensors, audio systems, RF technologies, low-power analog, and embedded solutions makes him uniquely qualified to lead Sonexos through its next phase of growth.

As COO, Andrea will guide the expansion of Sonexos’ operational footprint and manufacturing capabilities, supporting the company’s commitment to delivering high-performance, cost-efficient solutions at scale. His focus will include advancing industrialisation of the Plasmapanel platform, establishing strategic manufacturing partnerships, and ensuring supply chain resilience through globally distributed production.

“Andrea brings a rare combination of deep technical expertise, operational leadership, and customer-focused vision. His appointment comes at a pivotal moment as we prepare to industrialise at scale this ground-breaking AI-driven noise reduction technology for complex three-dimensional acoustic environments.”

Andrea will also play a key role in strengthening strategic customer and partner relationships, particularly in markets where Plasmapanel is already gaining momentum—including HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, industrial enclosures, and transportation interiors.

About us

Sonexos is a Swiss engineering company specializing in high-performance audio and sound control. We develop and supply advanced solutions for audio enhancement, noise and vibration control to clients in the consumer, transportation, automotive and industrial sectors.

A core innovation is our Plasmapanel technology—an active acoustic solution that achieves broadband sound absorption in enclosed spaces such as vehicle cabins, rooms, offices, ducts, and machinery. Unlike passive treatments that rely on mass or porous materials, Plasmapanel actively absorbs the energy of incident sound waves upon contact, delivering lighter, more space-efficient noise reduction across a wide frequency range.

 

Beyond our R&D capabilities, Sonexos provides strategic advisory services to help clients accelerate innovation in sound and acoustics. Our offerings include product design consultation, acoustic benchmarking, system integration support, and scalable manufacturing guidance—ensuring successful deployment of advanced technologies and long-term differentiation in the marketplace.

By combining deep technical expertise with a pragmatic, system-level approach, Sonexos empowers companies to elevate acoustic performance where it matters most – where sound enhances experience.
