L-Acoustics announces the opening of three new facilities dedicated to production, logistics and carpentry in order to respond to market demand. The new facilities will enable L-Acoustics to increase production significantly by the end of 2015.
A new logistics facility has been operational since early 2015. Located in the Paris region, close to the company’s headquarters in Marcoussis, the new warehouse increases the company’s logistics facilities to 8,200m2, expanding capacity by 300 percent.
The new warehouse was joined by the March inauguration of a new production facility. Located in Marcoussis, next to the company’s business headquarters, the brand new assembly site boasts 3,000m2, fully dedicated to the manufacture of the world-renowned L-Acoustics sound systems and doubles the current production size. The company’s 4,000m2 headquarters, which previously contained both production and business teams will now be fully dedicated to business operations and research and development.
L-Acoustics’ carpentry subsidiary, located in the Strasbourg region of France will also double in size with the opening of a new 5,000m2 purpose-built carpentry and paint factory, which is currently under construction and will open in the last quarter of 2015.
“With the rapid worldwide adoption of reference products like K2, L-Acoustics has been blessed with phenomenal growth,” explains Stéphane Ecalle, director of marketing at L-Acoustics. “The expansion of our logistics and production facilities will allow us to grow in lockstep with the increasing demand.”
