Intelligent Audio Products Corp. , parent company of PlanterSpeakers.com, has announced the opening of a manufacturing facility in Bridgeport, Conn., in the former factory of Adrian Acoustics and Alta Audio.
“Our Bridgeport factory has been serving the OEM speaker cabinet and audio-video furniture manufacturing industries for a long time,” says IAP president Art Powers. “We will continue that tradition, now creating an array of products made in America.”
IAP’s PlanterSpeakers line of speakers housed in architectural planters continues to develop with models that will now be manufacturing in the Bridgeport facility. The Connecticut facility also becomes the headquarters for Designed Sound.
“Our heritage is in speakers and amplifiers,” says Powers, who co-created the Madison Fielding amplifier business with his father, “but we’re already making turntables, acoustic panels and other soon-to-be announced products for other names in the business. My focus is to offer our manufacturing capacity to those brands looking for U.S. made products in a factory that has the right controls, and run by craftsman who guarantee quality.”
