L’importante azienda di accessori per dispositivi Apple, Incipio, ha acquistato Griffin Technology, altra compagnia impegnata nella produzione di accessori per dispositivi iOS e Mac, la prima ad aver realizzato un case per il Siri Remote di Apple TV di quarta generazione.
“Griffin has a 25 year history of designing, manufacturing and distributing iconic mobile accessories,” stated Andy Fathollahi, Founder and CEO of Incipio Group. “As part of Incipio Group, Griffin strengthens our product development and manufacturing capabilities, complements our existing product lines in rugged cases, power and connectivity, and allows our brands to reach a broader domestic and international audience through enhanced distribution in the business-to-business, enterprise and education verticals.”
Stando al contratto, Griffin continuerà ad operare come prima e pare che il suo brand potrebbe comunque durare a lungo senza una fusione radicale tra i due marchi. La compagnia manterrà il suo quartier generale a Nashville, TN piuttosto che unirsi nella sede di Incipio ad Orange County, California.
La linea dei prodotti Griffin, a differenza di Incipio, include case, dock, caricatori, cavi ed altri prodotti ed accessori audio progettati per iPhone, iPad e Mac insieme ad una serie di altri smartphone supportati.
“This is an exciting and pivotal moment for the Griffin brand,” says Paul Griffin, Founder and CEO of Griffin Technology. “Partnering with Incipio Group provides Griffin with a strong support system and improved capabilities to continue developing accessories that people love and use every day.”
La notizia segue un altra importante acquisizione di Incipio a Settembre dell’anno scorso che pare abbia acquistato la compagnia Incase, produttrice di borse e case per dispositivi Apple. Incipio ha inoltre annunciato di voler acquistare Skullcandy, vedremo un po’ cosa ci riserverà il futuro.
