Catalyst Acoustics Group of Agawam, Massachusetts, has acquired Ogden-based Real Acoustix LLC, a manufacturer of custom acoustical wood and architectural interior products.
Richard Lenz will remain in his role as president of Real Acoustix and the Real Acoustix team will remain intact, the new owners said.
Catalyst Acoustics Group is the parent company of a numbers of acoustic, seismic, vibration and noise control companies, including Fräsch, IAC Acoustics, Kinetics Noise Control, Lamvin, Noise Barriers and Sound Seal.
Real Acoustics produces high-end diffusers, acoustical wood and absorption treatments. Its products have been installed in concert halls, universities, recording studios and other high-end spaces with notable aesthetic and acoustic results.
Regarding the acquisition, Catalyst Acoustics Group CEO Joe Lupone explained that he believes it represents the next best step for both parties. “Real Acoustix has an exceptional reputation in the market and an impressive network of channel partners,” he said. “We are committed to supporting the organization and accelerating its growth in this exciting sector of the acoustics market.”
Like the other brands under the Catalyst portfolio, Real Acoustix will maintain its autonomy, with independent channels to market products and services, while gaining organization access to deep functional expertise, financial resources and extensive marketing support, Lupone said.
“I am pleased to be aligned with such well-known and well-respected organizations and am eager to leverage available resources to take Real Acoustix to the next level,” said Lenz.
