UK-based loudspeaker specialists Celestion has announced a series of moves designed to enable the company to better leverage its unique technologies in the global marketplace. The company is exploiting more fully the economies of scale presented by being part of the multinational Gold Peak organization, moving production of its high volume professional loudspeaker products to its own off-shore manufacturing plants.

As part of this process, the company has managed an exhaustive and detailed collaboration exercise to ensure that Celestion’s UK build processes and sonic quality have been fully replicated in its extended off-shore manufacturing facility. Launched at this year’s NAMM show, Celestion’s Inverted Neo speakers are the first of a series of innovative, technology-led professional products that will continue to be built in the UK. The company is also looking to move from its ten-acre site at Foxhall Road to a more specialized facility in the Ipswich area.

Commenting on the reorganization, Celestion sales and marketing director Michael Tuck said: "We are entering an exciting period for the Celestion brand, combining the leading name in professional loudspeakers with continued investment in R&D and some extremely competitive pricing. By remaining focused on the needs of our customers, we are confident of significant growth in the marketplace, maintaining Celestion's position as a leader and innovator in the professional loudspeaker industry."
