Sonifex acquires Innes Corporation
Published: ASIA
AUSTRALIA: Marking the company’s first international corporate purchase, Sonifex has acquired Australian broadcast manufacturer and distributor, Innes Corporation.
‘We've been involved with Innes Corporation for some time, recently acting as a manufacturer for their audio cards,’ explained Marcus Brooke, MD of Sonifex. ‘I was so impressed with the quality and versatility of the audio cards that when we discussed further collaboration, we realised that there was a great opportunity for us to leverage our international marketing skills to sell the Innes PCIe cards to a larger market. In addition, we can combine our R&D departments to work in partnership on some interesting new products.’
Innes Corporation manufactures a range of high-end PCIe PC cards (professional analogue and digital audio cards, AM, FM and DAB+ radio capture cards) together with the multichannel audio logger, Flashlog. Sonifex is a UK manufacturer of audio and video products for radio and TV studios, best known for their Redbox audio and video interfaces.
General manager of Innes Corporation Karen Olliver stated that while it is essentially business as usual, the new ownership arrangement is good news for Innes Corporation's trading partners and clients. ‘Between Sonifex, John Innes and Innes Corporation we have over 70 years of combined experience in the broadcast industry. We'll still be offering our customers and suppliers the exceptional level of service and support that they've come to expect from us while drawing on a greater pool of technical resources.’
