LONGMONT, Colo. & CHANTILLY, Va.―DPA Microphones and Wisycom have announced a strategic alliance to work together to expand their operations in the U.S.
The alliance builds on a history of close collaboration, with successful initiatives in marketing and product technology to deliver high-end microphone and wireless solutions to audio professionals. As part of the alliance, the two companies said that they would preserve their distinct identities while consolidating operations under one roof at DPA Microphones’ existing corporate headquarters in Longmont, Colorado so they can efficiently leverage shared resources.
The structure currently in place at the DPA facility allows Wisycom to benefit from an expanded service department, augmented customer support team and enhanced logistics infrastructure.
As part of the agreement, sales and support efforts will be integrated, pooling the expertise of staff from both companies.
