The acquisition of Scandyna, effective 1 June, is a part of EET Europarts' ambitious growth strategy for the Home Entertainment and Lifestyle Electronics business area.

"We are very excited that we succeeded in acquiring this unique design brand," says CEO John Thomas, EET Group. "We want to focus on design and high quality for our Home Entertainment and Lifestyle products, and the unique Podspeakers from Scandyna, with their sublime sound quality and stylish designs, are a perfect match for our wide assortment of high-end and premium brands, including also B&O PLAY, Loewe, Vifa and Clint."

Two years ago, EET Europarts acquired the Danish audio/video development and design company ViewMedia, and established Clint Digital. The Asgard wireless audio streaming speaker series from Clint has, in 2015, received two prestigious Red Dot Awards and two of the renowned iF Awards for excellent design and outstanding functionality.

"Scandinavian design brands and products are in high demand, and European customers strive for quality products that stand out from the crowd. Scandyna Podspeakers have been successfully sold in the Nordic area for many years, and we strongly believe, that with EET Europarts' wide distribution network, we are able to expand the success of the Podspeakers both European - and worldwide."

The Podspeaker design draws on organic shapes that create a magical experience at the intersection of sound and form. No matter where they are placed, the speakers draw the eye due to their unparalleled performance and their stylish appearance. Podspeakers create the ideal conditions for listening to and experiencing music. The sculptural curves are testament to an experimental and imaginative take on design, a desire to break with tradition and create something new in the fields of aesthetics and audio. Regardless of their shape, the sublime sound quality and stylish design of your Podspeakers stimulate all your senses, bringing music to life. They help create atmospheric rooms that inspire and give joy. www.podspeakers.dk
