Logitech or Logi, one of the best companies to create accessories for all kinds of devices -including, of course, all Apple devices- I would be thinking of acquiring Plantronics, according to Reuters.
Plantronics is a company specialized in headphones and microphones, centrada, sobre todo, en empresas y entornos profesionales desde teleasistencia a aviación. Aunque también sus auriculares bluetooth son muy conocidos en el entorno doméstico y los hemos reseñado en numerosas ocasiones en Actualidad iPhone.
Logitech, with this purchase, that rumored to close for $ 2.000 billion, would get into the market for headsets and communication solutions in many markets. Something that the accessory giant is missing compared to other types of accessories, such as keyboards or mice.
In addition, would benefit from lower import tariffs from China, which have grown with the new United States government, since Plantronics is a Californian company, although it manufactures its devices in China and Mexico.
If you are unfamiliar with Plantronics headsets, feel free to take a look at Actualidad iPhone. I myself enjoy a few each day. The company itself has been creating headphones and microphones for more than half a century, including Headsets for NASA astronauts.
This purchase will allow Logitech to enter an increasingly fashionable market: The upper-middle-range bluetooth headphones for portable devices. And thus compete with the existing ones, such as Sennheiser, Bose, Apple (with Beats) and with the new greats that have arrived, such as Microsoft and Dolby, who have both released bluetooth headphones this year.
At the moment it is a rumor, but the acquisition makes sense and it is possible that it will benefit both companies by strengthening each other's weaknesses with the other. We will know more next week, when the purchase by Logitech is supposed to be effective.
