Sennheiser has announced the acquisition of several business units of Professional Audio Ltd. (PAL) in Ireland. This development in Sennheiser’s Irish operation follows a mutual agreement between Sennheiser and PAL, which among others sold Sennheiser products in Ireland.
Sennheiser already employs over 300 people at its manufacturing plant in Tullamore, where it produces
headphones, headphone capsules, audiology products, studio monitors and products for the integrated systems sector.
"Ireland
is an important market for us and we want to make sure that our customers there
continue to be well supported," says Daniel Sennheiser, Sennheiser’s CEO. "Drawing business for this territory
directly into our global operation means that we are able to offer the same level of
service that we offer everywhere else in the world. At the same time, keeping key
members of the existing team provides both consistency and familiarity."
"PAL has worked with Sennheiser in
Ireland for more than 25 years and we have enjoyed building the Sennheiser brand during
this time," adds PAL’s Gerry Forde. "This latest development is a testament to Sennheiser’s vision and commitment to Ireland."
