A.R.G ElectroDesign, has been acquired by a group of private investors
led by Media Asset Capital (MAC). A.R.G is a UK based manufacturer of high quality line adaptors
used to carry broadcast video, audio and data over standard telco circuits. The acquisition, which
closed this week, involves both the purchase of the company from its present owners and the
placing of an interim management team from MAC into the UK & US operations.
Over the next 12 months, considerable investment will be made into both the UK manufacturing
operation and worldwide sales. As part of the acquisition, A.R.G opened a US office in February
of this year as a prelude to a major sales effort in North America.
Tom Wragg, CEO of Media Asset Capital said, We are delighted to have found a well run company with high quality products that we can help find new markets and grow the business.
ARG will be at NAB and IBC and looks forward to welcoming customers and colleagues to review
our products and meet our new team.
