Biamp Acquires Audiovisual Control Systems Company Neets A/S

June 22 2021, 00:45
Biamp announced another acquisition, this time of Neets A/S, based in Horsens, Denmark, a respected independent manufacturer of AV control systems. According to Biamp, Neets offers a mature, comprehensive family of device controllers, control interfaces, and control software that are distinctive for their ease of use and elegant design, and made sense to expand the AV solutions portfolio of the Beaverton, Oregon-based company.
 

As Biamp states, Neets' products and expertise enhance its current control offerings and reinforce its position among the leaders of full-line professional AV suppliers. In addition to control, Neets recently added to its portfolio several other innovative products that target conferencing applications, including mediabars, cameras, device hubs, and in-table connectivity systems.

"Neets is a company I've been impressed by and have been following for many years. Their products are notable for their extraordinary ease of use and careful consideration of everyone that encounters them in the product life cycle — from designer, to programmer, to installer, to end user," says Rashid Skaf, Biamp president, CEO, and co-chairman. "I'm extremely pleased to welcome Neets into the Biamp family. Their products directly complement our solutions and will allow us to target an even wider range of venue types, sizes, and use cases and offer even more complete systems. This acquisition makes it easier than ever for our customers to stay within the Biamp solutions family for all applications."

"I am excited to combine forces with Biamp and deliver the benefits of Neets' solutions to a global audience. The Neets team has spent over two decades building and refining the best control solutions in the industry," says Michael Jarl Christensen, CEO of Neets A/S. "As part of Biamp, with its broad product portfolio and worldwide distribution system, Neets will be able to deliver its products to a far larger customer community. Together, Biamp will offer one of the broadest, most capable family of AV solutions available from any vendor anywhere in the world."
 

Biamp is a leading manufacturer and supplier of professional audio systems for business, education, and government facilities. Under Skaf's direction, Biamp has charted an aggressive growth strategy that blends organic product line and distribution expansion with entry into new markets via acquisition. In the past two years, Biamp acquired Huddle Room Technology (HRT), a company based in Modena, Italy, and Audioprof Group International, the parent company of Community Loudspeakers based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Apart Audio based in Antwerp, Belgium. In 2018, Biamp announced the acquisition of Cambridge Sound Management (CSM), headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts.

Biamp currently offers a wide range of audiovisual solutions that facilitate communication and collaboration in conference rooms, lecture halls, auditoria, arenas, stadia, and hospitality and retail spaces, as well as paging and notification and sound masking for open areas such as offices, concourses, stadia, retail centers, and casinos.

Neets will join Biamp as a new product family within the company's portfolio, with business functions gradually being blended to form a single Biamp business.
