One the eve of Prolight+Sound Guangzhou, one of large pro audio trade shows in China, B&C Speakers announced a significant distribution change in its operations in China. The B&C Group, now incorporating B&C Speakers, Eighteen Sound, Ciare and Eminence, confirmed it will be taking direct control of all B&C Speaker product distribution in China, effective July 1,2024. The group recently reinforced its manufacturing and logistical operations in the region with the acquisition of Eminence.
"While establishing the Group's first manufacturing and distribution location in China this past fall, it became quite obvious that we had a great team. An organization that is quite capable of serving the Chinese market in a more direct and effective manner," explains Lorenzo Coppini, B&C Group CEO.

The B&C Group established a new 6,000 square meter manufacturing and distribution facility in Dongguan, China (Zhongtang Town) after purchasing Eminence Speaker's Chinese production facility in the fall of 2023. All factory works were recently moved to a new building, located just a few kilometers from the original Eminence location.

While the B&C Group has no plans to produce B&C branded products in China for the foreseeable future, they will continue to produce transducers under the Eminence brand name as well as OEM transducers focused primarily on the pro audio and MI product categories.

"We would like to thank JJ Chen, Kevin Lin and all of the Baisheng staff for their decades of hard work and dedication towards establishing B&C Speakers as a market leader in China. We could never have done it without them," added Ron Tizzard, CMO and Sales Director for the Group.

B&C has also announced that former Baisheng Sales Manager, Kevin Lin has now joined the B&C Group team as Sales Manager - B&C Speakers brand (China). Kevin will be working closely with Walter Su, Sales Manager - Eminence Speaker brand (China) to cover the needs of all B&C group customers in the region.

B&C Speakers S.p.A. designs and manufactures professional electroacoustic transducers and speaker driver components, supplied mainly to professional audio system manufacturers, most of which are made according to customers' specifications. With around 220 employees, approximately 10% of whom are in its Research and Development Department, B&C Speakers currently carries out all design, production, marketing and control activities under the Group's brands at its offices in Florence, Reggio Emilia, Eminence (KY-USA) and DongGuan (CN).
