Focal and Naim are to merge to create a new pan-European hi-fi company with a combined turnover in excess of £48m.
A new company Focal & Co will own and manage Focal and Naim as independent brands, retaining their own philosophies and product ranges, but collaborating on research and development.
Focal & Co, owned by Jacques Mahul (founder and chairman), CM-CIC (long-term shareholder in Focal) and the management teams of Focal and Naim, will employ 325 people at its facilities in St-Etienne, France and Salisbury, UK.
By bringing together the research and development teams of both companies, Focal & Co will create "an industry-leading R&D capability to propel the Naim and Focal brands to the next level".
Paul Stephenson, managing director of Naim Audio, says: "It is a merger of European minds. In Focal, we have found a partner which shares our passion for music and will help us take Naim to the next level.
"We can achieve far more together than would have been possible alone, yet at the same time we are able to retain everything that is unique about Naim and everything that our customers love us for.
"We have some incredible developments in the pipeline and this alliance will help us get those to market as quickly as possible."

Where better to listen to it than on one of the amazing hi-fi systems at Loud & Clear - one of the UK's finest hi-fi retailers!

Simply put, one of the most standout albums of this or any other generation!
All of the elements on Screamadelica--piano, samples, gospel singers, dub-drenched rhythms--float about weightlessly amidst one another, as if beyond gravity's pull. And gliding above it all is Gillespie himself, at best on "Higher Than The Sun", vocals at once ecstatic and wistful, staring down at a world that's yet to catch up with where he's at. In time, Screamadelica would come to be regarded as one of the defining albums of its era. --David Stubbs
