Incipio acquires Braven, expands portfolio to include rugged bluetooth speakers

Two of the most progressive names in high-tech and mobile accessories are joining forces. INCIPIO Technologies Inc., designer and manufacturer of award winning mobile device accessories, today announced the acquisition of privately held BRAVEN LC. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Provo, Utah, BRAVEN is an emerging mobile device accessories company specializing in wireless audio products and is the first company to produce a portable HD speaker/speakerphone that doubles as a mobile phone charger.

“The acquisition of BRAVEN will create a more diverse product offering for our customers and will allow us to pioneer groundbreaking solutions to support the increasingly connected mobile world,” said Andy Fathollahi, Founder and Chief Executive, INCIPIO®. “Both brands are alike in that we have experienced continuous growth and success as a result of our drive to deliver revolutionary wireless products and services.”

BRAVEN is dedicated to providing premium sound, unparalleled design and industry-leading quality. Available to customers globally, the BRAVEN product line delivers the latest innovations in portable Bluetooth speakers, including the world’s most powerful rugged wireless speaker encased in a water resistant exterior – the BRV-1.

“The BRAVEN team is thrilled to be joining the INCIPIO family,” said Warren Osborn, Founder of BRAVEN. “Only INCIPIO has the infrastructure, expertise and global distribution to take the BRAVEN portfolio to the next level.”

Recognized as one of Southern California’s fastest growing private companies, INCIPIO® continues to engineer state of the art, protective accessories for the latest mobile devices across all major brands, including Apple, BlackBerry, Google, HTC, Kindle, LG, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony.
