WOODINVILLE, WA — Loud Technologies Inc. said it had signed on with two new contract manufacturing (CM) partners and started up three new production lines to replace capacity lost when the prior CM partner for certain EAW and Mackie products discontinued operations in December, 2008. The company also noted that supplies of all other EAW and Mackie products, as well as Alvarez, Ampeg, Crate and Martin branded products continue uninterrupted, as they are manufactured at other Loud CM partners.
“We were already moving to secure alternate EAW and Mackie production sources in response to growing backlogs with this prior supplier, and these efforts remain Loud’s top priority,” said Jim Stewart, Loud’s chief operating officer.
“We just signed manufacturing agreements with two new contract manufacturers and added additional capacity at a Loud-owned U.S. facility,” Stewart added. “We already have new lines up and running for EAW KF and SB loudspeakers, as well as Mackie MR and HRmk2 studio monitors, and plan to bring up additional lines for other products every few weeks until supplies are stabilized.”
