Rockford Corporation Acquires MB Quart

Gary Suttle, president and chief executive officer of Rockford Corporation, said, “We are pleased to join forces with such a highly respected company as MB Quart. With such a solid reputation in the mobile, professional and home theater markets, as well as its stronghold in the European sector, we felt that they would be an exceptional addition to Rockford alongside our other industry-leading name brands. With the additional financial and operational support from Rockford along with MB Quart’s already strong management team and marketing initiatives in Europe, we at Rockford look forward to expanding their business while at the same time growing Rockford and gaining market share in the high-end car audio category as well as in home theater.”

Martin Troche, general manager of MB Quart GmbH, adds, “MB Quart is a worldwide leader in the development, engineering, manufacturing and marketing of premium loudspeaker products and technologies, as is Rockford. We believe that by partnering with Rockford, we can become one of the foremost audio companies in the marketplace today.”

Troche adds that although MB Quart Akustik GmbH will become a division under Rockford Corporation, it will retain its status as a separate German corporation and the sales and marketing efforts for the MB Quart brand will be managed independently from Rockford’s other divisions.
