Combined resources & expertise
This collaboration further unites two trusted brands with over 65 years of experience, bringing together innovation, quality, and a shared goal to make audio accessible for all. With their combined resources, a wide range of products, and unwavering dedication to helping people “simply hear better,” Listen Technologies and Ampetronic are well-positioned to take the lead in the assistive hearing and communication sector.
A centralised leadership team streamlines processes, resulting in seamless client and partner experiences. This unified structure improves collaboration across teams and locations, fosters innovation, and ensures uniform quality in customer service and worldwide accessibility.
Maile Keone serves as president and CEO of both Listen Technologies and Ampetronic, maintaining consistent leadership and strategic alignment throughout the organisation. Julian Pieters will serve as chief strategy officer, overseeing corporate strategy, product and technology development, and partnerships.
Listen Technologies and Ampetronic are part of Allvida, a rapidly expanding group of accessibility-focused companies. In 2023, the two brands announced that they would distribute each other’s solutions in North America and the United Kingdom respectively, creating a single source for their comprehensive and complementary assistive listening solutions. The partnership has also resulted in the development of Auri, the first Auracast audio-based assistive listening system.
Keone says: “Our collaboration with Ampetronic on Auri showcases the incredible synergy between our teams and our shared passion for innovation and accessibility. Under the Allvida umbrella, we’re taking that successful partnership to the next level, delivering complementary solutions and expanding our global impact. This alignment is more than a natural progression—it’s a powerful opportunity to help even more people hear clearly and engage in any environment.”
The partnership between Listen Technologies and Ampetronic guarantees that their whole line of adaptable, dependable, and high-quality products is available to meet the changing requirements of clients and industries around the globe. This combined strength enables their distribution network to provide comprehensive solutions adapted to the different needs of sectors including transportation, performing arts venues, houses of worship, higher education institutions, and others.
“With our expanded resources and shared expertise, we can accelerate our innovation in both technology and services. There are so many opportunities ahead, with the world of public audio services entering a new and exciting chapter,” says Pieters. “Together, Listen Technologies and Ampetronic will set a new standard for assistive communication, enhancing accessibility for all.”
