Zildjian and Vic Firth merger
« on: December 21, 2010, 10:55:40 AM »
Not sure if this is note-worthy news.
Kinda interesting though.
Di naman daw maaapektuhan ang pagpatakbo ng negosyo ng both companies.
We'll see.

December 20, 2010

It is my pleasure to announce that as of today, the world's leading cymbal manufacturer, the Avedis Zildjian Company, will merge with Vic Firth, the global market leader in drumsticks, effective immediately. Both of our New England-based, family-owned companies are well respected legacy brands in the music industry with a long tradition of product quality and innovation.

 

Zildjian is honored to join forces with the Vic Firth Company which has set the standard for drumsticks in the music industry. Similarities in our cultures and business philosophies, coupled with a shared dedication to product and service excellence, provide a strong foundation for the union of our two companies. Both companies will continue to run autonomously. In fact, our customers should notice no difference in the way business is conducted moving forward.

 

"I have the greatest respect for Zildjian," said Vic Firth, President, Vic Firth Company.  "Our businesses share common values, a passion for manufacturing, and a similar approach to how we do business. This union represents a unique opportunity to leverage our respective leadership positions in the drumstick and cymbal categories.  I look forward to years of growth and newfound success."

 

All of us at Zildjian and Vic Firth thank you for your continued support and wish you and your families a very happy holiday.


More information on this exciting merger is available at Zildjian.com.


 
Sincerely,

Craigie Zildjian
CEO
Avedis Zildjian Company

This is truly noteworthy. What is not clear in the letter though is the possible cessation of Zildjian stick manufacture. Di klaro sa email e. Sabi lang both companies run autonomously.

yun din naisip ko. baka matanggal yung drumstick line ng zildjian ang mangyari sa mga signature endorsers maging VF signature endorsers na rin sila. di na rin masama, Vic Firth naman e.

so what will happen nga sa price?

here in the philippines pag sinabi nateng Zildjian = JB MUSIC pag VIC Firth naman LYRIC..
what will happen?  :|

Who knows sir, baka mas maging beneficial to saten. Knowing na mas maka-masa ang price ng Vic Firth sticks compared to Zildjian sticks. We may never know. And sir hopefully it's not about the price they pay attention to, hope it's the quality. Maganda rin naman kasi mga Zildjian sticks e. Sabi ng ilan, yung mga endorser ng Zildjian sticks ay magiging Vic Firth endorser na. Adi lalong ayos!  :-)

OT: Afaik, mas mura ang Vic Firth items sa Perfect Pitch or Yamaha stores, pero mas kumpleto sa Lyric. :mrgreen:

based on the pearldrum forums..

zildjian bought vic firth for est. $40 million....  waw.. thats around 2billion pesos when converted. (correct me if im wrong)

Man are you serious?! Sana walang magbago sa Vic Firth line ups. Vic Firth na ang kinalakihan kong Drumsticks at Mallets. Good luck sa dalawang bigating kumpanya.

In my opinion .. matanda na rin si Mr. Vic Firth .. and im sure na he just want security of his company din.. atlease bago cya mawala.. (lets say) and VF merge to zildjian.. thats adding another history to it. atlease may patutunguhan ang company pag iniwan ni VF.

baka aminado si MR. Firth na wala syang tiwala sa pag mamanahan.hindi tulad sa Zildjian Clan,talagang ipinapasa sa mga anak/forerunners ang pag papatakbo ng negosyo.

Merged ba talaga ang nangyare o binenta na ni MR/ Firth ang company nia?

nabawasan ng kalaban ang zildjian.. actually parang kinain nila ng buhay ang companya ni Firth eh.

pati nga mga pictures nila dominating ang Zildjian sisters eh.. hahhaa.. tapos cya lang mag isa representing VF.. Vic Firth himself.



oo nga e.. pero pag nakita mo nmn yung pics nila nag stand out si mr firth sa kanila..
vic firth sticks and zildjian cymbals are great combination anyway so nice job pa din..
