TGI Expands Professional Audio Interests with Acquisition Of
Lab Gruppen, a Digital Amplifier Specialist
TGI is pleased to announce the acquisition of Lab Gruppen, a
specialist designer and manufacturer of digital professional
audio amplifiers, based in Sweden.
Established for over 20 years, Lab Gruppen is positioned as a
premium brand, and has a reputation for high quality and an
impressive record of technological innovation. Its product
portfolio incorporates both digital amplifier and digital
signal processing ("DSP") technologies, and, more recently, it
has pioneered the use of networked systems.
Loudspeaker and amplifier technologies are converging and the
acquisition will allow TGI to integrate its world class
professional loudspeaker technology with Lab Gruppen's digital
expertise to provide integrated solutions to its professional
audio customers. At present, all of TGI's loudspeakers use
third party amplifiers and electronics. In addition, the
acquisition will give Lab Gruppen access to TGI's strong
international distribution network, and, in particular, to
Martin Audio's professional audio customer base.
The consideration of SKr28.0m (#2.1m) has been paid in cash
and funded from the Group's cash resources and bank
facilities. For the year ended 30 April 2000, Lab Gruppen
generated turnover of SKr38.7m (#2.9m), profit before tax of
SKr2.7m (#0.2m), and had net assets of SKr2.0m (#0.15m).
Nigel Hamilton, Chief Executive, said: "Lab Gruppen is an
excellent fit with our existing professional business. Its
leading edge digital sound processing technologies are
complementary to our professional loudspeaker business, and we
see significant growth opportunities in offering integrated
systems to the professional market. Lab Gruppen will also
benefit from greater market access through TGI's strong
international distribution network."
