Cadac Consoles is to locate manufacturing of its new CM-System in the United Kingdom. The move marks a significant transition from its previous China production base under the Soundking Group.
‘To fully realise Cadac Consoles’ potential and ensure its long-term sustainability, both Soundking Group and Cadac Consoles’ management team recognise the importance of partnering with a UK-based manufacturer specialising in low-volume, high-value products, in ensuring that the high expectations of its customer base are fully met,’ says Soundking Group President, Xianggui Wang.
‘This decision additionally enables Soundking to reallocate resources to our broader product range, accelerating our ability to drive Soundking’s global growth across the A/V sector.’
‘With the completion of our rebranding and recent introduction of the new CM-Series, relocation of the manufacturing to the UK marks the final step in phase one of our holistic strategy for Cadac Consoles,’ says Cadac Consoles Director of Marketing & Business Operations, James Godbehear. ‘The move positions the brand to better support our partners and customers, specifically addressing the unique requirements of large-format consoles in the live sound market. By bringing manufacturing closer to our R&D and operational teams in the UK, we aim to improve communication, facilitate faster turnaround times and enable a more agile response to market dynamics and customer feedback.’
‘During the next few months, we will collaborate closely with our UK partner to thoroughly evaluate and optimise our sourcing, purchasing and production processes,’ says Head of Research & Development, Emily Watson. ‘Our goal is to develop a pivotal manufacturing roadmap that ensures reliable product delivery, significantly enhances our prototyping capabilities, and continually improves the CM product line.’
‘Our commitment to consistently deliver products of Made in the UK quality is paramount,’ Godbehear adds. ‘We anticipate that customers will be able to experience and appreciate the benefits of this highly significant move by the fourth quarter of this year.’
Soundking will continue to provide hardware support for the company’s legacy CDC five, CDC six and CDC seven-s digital consoles.
