Acoustic Energy Regains UK Ownership
In Time For 30th Anniversary
The business of
Acoustic Energy
Limited is now
registered under
Acoustic Energy
Loudspeakers Limited
Acoustic Energy has announced that it has successfully bought the
company from its Malaysian parent company, Formosa Prosonic
Group in time for its 30th anniversary since forming in 1987.
Acoustic Energy will continue to operate and manufacture from
its Cotswolds, UK HQ, together with dedicated manufacturing
partners overseas to produce AE’s range of loudspeakers.
Senior management, internal contacts and sales teams remain
unchanged and all existing international distribution agreements
remain in place.
“Becoming an independently owned British loudspeaker
company once again is a very exciting development in AE’s history,”
commented company director, Mat Spandl.
“This year our new active version of the legendary AE1
became an overnight ‘sell-out success’ following the launch at
the recent Bristol Show. The new AE1 is an integral part of an
ambitious roadmap for 2017 including more new products rolling
into production right now,” he added. “With the UK economy
remaining strong and exchange rates bolstering our international
sales, the timing is perfect to capitalise on the renewed growth in
the global audio industry and achieve further success for AE over
the next 30 years.”
Formosa Prosonic (FP) Group
has owned and acted as
major OEM partner to AE
for the past 22 years.
The move comes
with full blessing and
ongoing support
from FP to ensure a
seamless transition of
ownership.
