Shure acquires Informationsteknik and DIS
Published: MEA
WORLD: Shure has acquired Danish A/V manufacturer Informationsteknik Scandinavia including its conference systems business unit Danish Interpretation Systems (DIS).
‘From the very first contact from Shure expressing their desire to acquire the whole of Informationsteknik along with our DIS business activities we saw tremendous opportunities becoming a member of the Shure organisation,’ said Finn Halken CEO of Informationsteknik Group. ‘There are several reasons this acquisition makes sense for us, especially the fact that both companies place a high value on our employees, and we both have a very customer-focused approach to doing business.’
DIS general manager, Thomas Frederiksen, added: ‘At DIS we are very excited to be associated with a strong brand like Shure and we look very much forward to exploiting the mutual technological opportunities.’
Sandy LaMantia, Shure president and CEO believes: ‘This acquisition is beneficial to both organisations. Informationsteknik and Shure are both industry leaders. By coming together, we will significantly strengthen both companies’ global reach and market position. We welcome all of the members of Informationsteknik and we look forward to their continued success.’
Mr Halken will report to Christine Schyvinck, executive vice president of global marketing and sales for Shure, and Informationsteknik will be operated as one of Shure’s business units.
