This acquisition adds to Digigram’s position on the audio pro market and marks the beginning of a development phase towards the market of critical communications. With the completion of this operation, Digigram ambitions to increase its sales and double its revenues within 3 years.
Effective immediately, the acquisition reinforces the total headcount stretching from HQ offices in Montbonnot and Singapore.
Operational changes include the appointment of Yves Ansade, founder of AuviTran, to the position of Global R&D Director, where he will oversee the Technical strategy for the new entity: "Digigram and AuviTran combined R&D departments reach 40% of the global staff. Both companies will continue to operate their respective brands and clients, however the acquisition definitely strengthens our position on Commercial Audio, Live Sound, Broadcast markets, as well as addressing the Critical Communications market with a large panel of solutions” says Ansade.
Founded in 2003, AuviTran has specialised in the development of audio networking products for installation, live sound and public address markets. Engineered in Grenoble and produced in Europe, AuviTran products operate at the Sydney Opera, New York Madison Square Garden and the Stade de France in Paris.
