Logitech, one of the worlds frontliners in the manufacturing of input and interface devices for PCs and digital products, has acquired loupedeck: a Finland founded company, leading the charge on custom creative consoles within professional and hobbyist workstations.
Including Loupedeck’s portfolio to Logitech’s existing line of devices geared toward gamers and content creators, means incorporating the company’s speakers, cameras, mice and keyboards, streaming accessories, headsets and more into Logitech’s lineup.
Loupedeck’s CEO, Mikko Kesti says that “Empowering streamers, creators and gamers is a joint passion of Loupedeck and Logitech. Together we are focused on removing all barriers so they can create, edit and stream without limits,” says Ujesh Desai, general manager of Logitech G. “This acquisition augments Logitech’s product portfolio today and accelerates our software ambitions of enabling keyboards, mice and more to become smarter and contextually aware, creating a better experience for audiences across Logitech.”
“Loupedeck and Logitech share a commitment to creators and streamers and believe that creativity has no boundaries. Joining Logitech allows us to elevate what we are doing to the next level and exponentially broaden our audience and our impact to the creative process.”
According to Logitech’s acquisition announcement, it wants to deliver a premium experience and content creation applications for all types of creators, such as gamers, broadcasters, and other creative professionals. The acquisition of Loupedeck will help increase the utility of Loupedeck devices, according to Logitech and Loupedeck, who also note that the two companies focus on creating close connections between hardware and software. According to Loupedeck, it will still support its users and business associates for the foreseeable future.
Details of the deal are ye to be made public, but Logitech looks to expand its appeal to creative professionals with this pull; acquiring the editing console maker.
