Cabasse x Loewe - Storied French Audio Brand Acquired

In March, we reported the sad news that Cabasse, the 75-year-old French audio brand, had fallen into receivership. Today, we bring you the news that Loewe Technology has acquired it.

Proclaiming this strategic transaction as “a key step in Loewe's ambition to become the go-to benchmark in luxury electronics”, it seeks to bring together “exceptional design, cutting-edge engineering and acoustic performance within a cohesive premium ecosystem.”

Renowned for its proprietary technologies, including its coaxial drivers, the accuracy of its sound reproduction and its expertise in audio research, Cabasse embodies a tradition of excellence combining craftsmanship and scientific precision.

Meanwhile, with more than 100 years of German engineering behind it, Loewe has established itself as a benchmark for high-end entertainment. Famous for its iconic TVs and sound systems, the brand combines cutting-edge technology with timeless aesthetics.

At the heart of this acquisition is Cabasse's proprietary technology portfolio, including advanced loudspeaker designs, digital signal processing solutions and a strong patent base. Loewe will build on these strengths to develop a new generation of high-end audiovisual products.

We are assured that Cabasse will continue to operate independently, preserving its brand identity, engineering autonomy and innovation roadmap. The company will remain based in Brest, France, where it will continue its research, development and production activities.

Loewe’s role will be to actively support Cabasse through targeted investments in talent, infrastructure and product development, while providing its international sales platform and marketing capabilities. The German brand aims to “accelerate Cabasse's international influence, while sustainably strengthening its growth and profitability.”

Aslan Khabliev, CEO of Loewe Technology, told StereoNET:

Cabasse represents the essence of acoustic excellence. Bringing their exceptional expertise into the Loewe world, we are taking our audio capabilities to a whole new level.

Arnaud Hendoux, Deputy CEO of Cabasse, adds:

Joining Loewe marks a new chapter in our history. We will continue to innovate from Brest, true to our heritage, while benefiting from a powerful international platform to accelerate our development.

We can foresee this collaboration resulting in the development of fully integrated luxury home cinema ecosystems and multi-room solutions, the integration of advanced customisation and sound optimisation technologies, and the utilisation of Cabasse's proprietary acoustic calibration systems in future Loewe ranges.

We also hope to see new generations of wireless and connected audio products.

The press release sums this up - “Through this acquisition, Loewe affirms its ambition to establish itself as a major player in luxury technologies, by building a complete ecosystem where performance, design and heritage converge to set new standards of excellence.”

We look forward to watching this next chapter for Cabasse alongside Loewe unfold.
