The acquisition of BRAVEN will create a more diverse product offering for our customers and will allow us to pioneer groundbreaking solutions to support the increasingly connected mobile world,†said Andy Fathollahi, Founder and Chief Executive, INCIPIO®. “Both brands are alike in that we have experienced continuous growth and success as a result of our drive to deliver revolutionary wireless products and services.â€
“The BRAVEN team is thrilled to be joining the INCIPIO family,†said Warren Osborn, Founder of BRAVEN. “Only INCIPIO has the infrastructure, expertise and global distribution to take the BRAVEN portfolio to the next level.â€
Personally I like both companies. They both have some great products that always deserve a look. Even though INCIPIO has acquired BRAVEN, not much is going to really change. BRAVEN will stay in Provo UTAh and will remain a separate part of INCIPIO right along with all their sales channels and media outlets. There will be a little bit of cross collaboration and extra pushing from both sides though. I am pretty excited to see what BRAVEN has planned next after having many of their speakers sitting on my desk.
