Pan Acoustics takes ACS under its wing

Pan Acoustics and Acoustic Control Systems BV (ACS) have announced that after two decades of cooperation, they have decided to join forces. Going forward, the Dutch company ACS will operate under the wing of Pan Acoustics. The companies will work closely together and where possible act as one team. While the location and all positions in ACS will remain the same, the inclusion of the company will mean that complete project solutions can now be offered from a single source.

ACS and Pan Acoustics have been closely associated for many years: A core of ACS, a 96-channel DSP unit, was developed as an engineering achievement of Pan Acoustics in a contracting project with ACS. Since then, a close technical partnership has existed with the goal of providing customers with natural acoustics. "Now the expertise of both companies is coming together to form a great whole. We are looking forward to numerous synergies in sales and the development of new products," commented Udo Borgmann, CEO and founder of Pan Acoustics.

"An ACS system can usually be installed in a room without major intervention, after which the room can be used in a truly multifunctional way" explained At van den Heuvel, technical director at ACS. "Together, we share the goal to now even better consult our customers in the commercial, theatre and cultural sectors with holistic solutions and to support them in their implementation.

"The holistic approach shall also pay off in terms of sustainability, entirely in the customer's interest. Pan Acoustics already offers a 10-year warranty for products developed and produced in-house.”

Udo Borgmann concluded: "I am absolutely convinced of the long-standing ACS quality. That's why we are extending this sustainable warranty of 10 years to ACS products with immediate effect, retroactively from 2020. Planned obsolescence is an outrage for us. We live sustainability and believe in our products – the customer may do the same."
