AVPro Global Holdings LLC, parent company of AVPro Edge, AudioControl Pro, Bullet Train, ThenAudio and Murideo, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Remote Technologies Incorporated (RTI), a recognised player in intelligent home and business control and automation solutions.
RTI’s portfolio includes remote controls, automation apps, processors, touch panels, keypads and AV signal routing solutions. By uniting AVPro’s expertise in audio and video signal connectivity with RTI’s remote control and automation solutions, the company aims to drive accelerated innovation and deliver a seamless experience for end users. RTI’s engineering expertise will accelerate AVPro’s development of system drivers to integrate its AVPro Edge and AudioControl products with a broad array of third-party automation platforms and brands. In turn, AVPro’s rapid product development and robust manufacturing resources will enable RTI to deliver more impactful products with greater speed and competitive pricing.
“AVPro acquiring RTI brings together two innovators in software-driven audio, video, and control integration, creating unique synergies that deliver greater value for our customers,” says Jeff Murray, AVPro’s Founder and CEO.
“Combining AVPro’s robust product development and manufacturing capabilities with RTI’s advanced control technologies and engineering expertise positions us to accelerate innovation and expand our offerings for our residential and commercial integration partners. We look forward to welcoming the talented RTI team to the AVPro family and working together to set new standards for connected experiences,” Jeff adds.
“Joining AVPro Global represents an exciting opportunity to amplify RTI’s impact in the control and automation market,” says Joe Roberts, RTI CEO. “AVPro’s manufacturing scale and development resources will accelerate our product roadmap while ensuring the innovation and quality that RTI customers expect.”
Leveraging AVPro’s global manufacturing capabilities and technical strengths, the company says it is committed to supporting RTI’s continued growth and leadership in the control and automation market. Following its successful integration of AudioControl in 2023, AVPro plans to incorporate RTI’s respected legacy and strong product lines, including RTI and Pro Control branded solutions, into its broader portfolio. This move will expand AVPro’s market presence and deliver enhanced value to residential and commercial integration professionals.
