RASTATT, Germany – In the wake of a lengthy restructuring process, the French company Innovason SAS has been dissolved and its product and trademarks rights have been adopted by Lawo AG, based here. Lawo had acquired a majority share of Innovason back in April 2008.
"Now that the Innovason products have become part of the range offered by Lawo in Rastatt, it means that the continuity of the brand is guaranteed," said Marcel Babazadeh, Innovason international sales director, noting that Lawo, with more than 40 years of experience in professional audio technology, was "committed to maintaining the heritage and history of Innovason," including the "continued development of the Eclipse platform," with "more resources available to us than ever before."
A number of former Innovason key employees will take over responsibility within the new structure at Lawo including the Hervé de Caro, who has been named product manager for Eclipse; Nicolas Gozdowski, who will continue in his role as service engineer; Benoit Quiniou in R&D; and Babazadeh who remains the international sales director.
"I have believed in the brand from the beginning," said Lawo CEO, Philipp Lawo. "I admire innovation – which has always been a driving force for the development of Innovason products. However, despite Lawo's intervention in 2008, the company was still not able to realize its full potential. Now that the brand is fully integrated into the Lawo structure, I am confident that together we can achieve success.
"I'm also delighted to welcome the new colleagues on board, all now key members of the Lawo team responsible for Innovason," Lawo continued. "It is the end of an era for Innovason in its former structure, but the dawning of a new chapter of innovations. We're all looking forward to a new and promising future in the live sound market together."
