Riedel Announces Two Acquisitions

Riedel Communications has added to its portfolio with two new acquisitions.

Increasing its engineering capabilities as well as strengthening its portfolio of communications solutions and Dante capabilities, the company has acquired DELEC Audio- und Videotechnik GmbH.

"DELEC has long been known for its visionary ideas and strong technology, and the company's products complement and augment the Riedel portfolio in a way that will bring even greater versatility to our customers," said Thomas Riedel, CEO at Riedel Communications. "The entire DELEC team will become part of the Riedel family, and this is exciting news not only in terms of our ongoing development of high-end solutions, but also for our growing customer base – including current DELEC customers. Together, we're better positioned than ever to provide forward-looking solutions that address current and future communications requirements, and we are committed to providing existing DELEC customers the great service Riedel is known for."

In addition to the above, Riedel has also acquired ASL Intercom BV. The move sees the business extend its portfolio of intercom technology for live entertainment and broadcast production environments.

"ASL Intercom has a strong portfolio in digital partyline technology, and the company's products adapt readily to a wide variety of applications, both small and large," added Thomas Riedel. "Intercom applications remain a core element of our business, and we are confident that we'll quickly be able to leverage the complementary technologies of ASL Intercom to serve an even broader array of customers that can benefit from exceptional communications systems."

The acquisition will see Riedel Communications maintain the ASL Intercom brand identity going forward, with current Managing Director Eric de Bruyn continuing in his role.

"Riedel Communications is dedicated to quality, innovation, and service, and we are confident that ASL Intercom's technology and customers will be in good hands," de Bruyn said. "The joining of our companies presents exciting opportunities for everyone involved."
