Bose Corporation, a leader in premium audio solutions, has announced its acquisition of McIntosh Group, the parent company of luxury audio brands including McIntosh and Sonus faber. This strategic move significantly enhances Bose’s portfolio, as McIntosh Group is known for manufacturing high-performance amplifiers, speakers, and turntables.

Elevating both brands’ capabilities

The acquisition merges over 175 years of industry expertise, emphasizing craftsmanship and a commitment to delivering exceptional audio experiences to music lovers worldwide. This partnership promises to elevate both brands’ capabilities, allowing Bose to integrate its innovative audio research and technology into the luxury audio market.

“With McIntosh Group in our portfolio, we can unlock new avenues to bring music to life in homes, on-the-go, and in cars,” stated Lila Snyder, CEO of Bose Corporation. “We look forward to honoring the heritage of these brands while pushing the boundaries of audio innovation.”

Open door to automotive

The collaboration also opens doors in the automotive audio sector, harnessing Bose’s four-decade experience alongside McIntosh Group’s design legacy. The two companies plan to engineer authentic in-car audio experiences that redefine automotive sound, further enhancing their reputation for quality.

Daniel Pidgeon, CEO of McIntosh Group, echoed Snyder’s sentiment, noting, “Bose’s dedication to audio research provides a tremendous opportunity to enhance our pursuit of delivering ultimate-quality audio experiences.”

While Bose continues to develop products in popular categories such as headphones and soundbars, McIntosh Group will maintain its focus on high-end products. Together, they aim to deliver bespoke offerings and unparalleled listening experiences. The acquisition was finalized with the support of Highlander Partners, L.P., a Dallas-based investment firm, and legal counsel from Jones Day. Financial specifics of the transaction remain confidential.

I was playing vinyl when I was 3 years old. There was a song from the Rubettes that I liked a lot "Sugar Baby Love". My mother still cherishes the photo of me spinning that record! The audiophile was born. As an adult the video enthusiast in me woke up, making professional corporate movies. Here, at "Best of high end", I can indulge my audiovisual senses.
