Logitech is undoubtedly one of the most popular brands of accessories for computing devices, including Macs and iOS devices, which makes it one of the most popular companies, but apparently that is not enough for it.
And it is that, apparently, a report has come to light in which it is thought that, in order to reach a wider audience, Logitech plans to acquire the headphone company Plantronics sooner rather than later for a high sum.
Logitech would acquire Plantronics to begin manufacturing audio devices and save the costs of tariffs in the United States
As we have been able to know, thanks to the information you have published Reuters, from Logitech plan to purchase Plantronics, which is currently headquartered in the United States and is dedicated to the manufacture of headphones, as well as audio devices.
In this way, on the one hand due to tariffs imposed by the United States for the importation of products from China, and on the other in order to be able to launch on the market products and accessories related to the world of audio (such as headphones), Logitech would have thought to buy Plantronics, for a scandalous figure of 2,2 billion dollars.
It would be produced so that Logitech and Plantronics try to keep manufacturing costs low after the introduction of tariffs on imports from China to the United States.
In this way, apparently, the purchase would take place very soon, specifically next week, taking into account that everything is going well, so it is likely that, during the next year 2019, we will see how Logitech competes in the headphone market against many other companies, including Apple (with Beats), or for example Sony, which also has a fairly high market share in this regard.
