History
|
At the beginning in 1978, APG was specialized in installation of complete turnkey projects. The performance requirements led to the design of a range of professional loudspeakers. The quality of these speakers spoke enough to establish the brand APG as one of the best. For a time APG was integrated as a division of the biggest independent European audio distribution company. In 2004, after a management buy-out, APG recovered its independent status and strategy.
In 2020, Active Audio and APG established Arbane Groupe. With Active Audio and APG, the Arbane Groupe enjoys a unique position in the professional audio market; offering a range of solutions, from public address to professional loudspeakers for events and fixed installations, while providing its customers with the flexibility of a company on a human scale. |
