Bosch Communications Systems

Telex Communications, Inc.

Now under the ownership of the Bosch Group, “Telex Communications, Inc.” designates the professional audio group containing the Dynacord®, Electro-Voice®, Klark Teknik®, Midas®, Telex® and RTS™ brands.

Following the September 2006 acquisition of Telex Communications, Inc. by the Bosch Security Systems (“ST”) division, Bosch announced that the title and structure of the new ST business unit containing the Telex Communications, Inc. group of brands would be named “Bosch Communications Systems,” effective January 1st, 2007.

Bosch Communications Systems is therefore a larger “umbrella” over the Telex Communications, Inc. umbrella. “Telex Communications, Inc.” remains the legal name of this group of brands, and appears under “Bosch Communications Systems" on business cards, etc. The Bosch Communications Systems name emphasizes the Telex Communications, Inc. brands’ newly unified presence with the Bosch Group on a global scale.

The creation of the Bosch Communications Systems—a business unit of Bosch Security Systems—sees Bosch poised to become one of the world’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of professional audio, wireless, life safety and communication equipment.

Bosch systems have been installed in a wide range of applications (such as large stadium and airport projects) where customer demand for turnkey sound solutions combined with security systems is growing. Likewise, the Dynacord®, Electro-Voice®, Midas®, Klark Teknik®, Telex® and RTS™ brands are renowned for their role in the world’s most critical, high-profile installations and events. In acquiring the Telex Communications, Inc. brands, Bosch is now in the unique position of being able to offer complete sound & security system solutions for all applications. And, like Bosch, the Telex Communications, Inc. brands carry significant cachet, along with valued histories in research and development. For example, U.S.-based Electro-Voice celebrates its 80th Anniversary in 2007. The strong brands of Telex Communications, Inc. are, and will remain, very much alive in name, location, spirit and quality under Bosch ownership. Indeed, the global resources and long-term growth-based business philosophy that Bosch brings to the table sees them secured for leadership in every pro audio vertical market: "Together, the Future Sounds Secure" was one tagline used to emphasize this position during the initial integration phase.

The creation of Bosch Communications Systems likewise expands the breadth of Bosch Security Systems' video surveillance, intrusion alarm, fire alarm and evacuation systems management, access control, and communications systems portfolio. With some 7,800 associates, the Bosch Security Systems division is represented at more than 40 locations in Europe, the Americas, and Asia Pacific. The acquisition of Telex Communications, Inc. family of brands and the creation of the Bosch Communications Systems business unit boosts the company’s solid global presence even further.
