Music Center SRL Acquires Denis Wick Products
The Wick family are pleased to announce that Italian-based Music Center SRL have completed the acquisition of Denis Wick Products Limited, becoming the first brass accessory business within the Group that includes Pisoni pads, Legere reeds and Rovner ligatures.
Denis Wick Products, which manufactures industry-leading brass mutes and mouthpieces, was formed in 1968 by Denis Wick who sadly passed away earlier this year at the age of 93.
Stephen Wick, who is retiring after twenty years on the company’s board of directors commented, “We’re delighted that Francesco Passera, CEO of Music Center, and his team will provide an exciting opportunity to develop the legacy started by Denis and shares our vision for traditional craftsmanship alongside product innovation, proudly made in the United Kingdom.”
Passera added, “Music Center is honoured to welcome Denis Wick Products into our portfolio of high-quality music accessory brands, as we expand from woodwind into the broader wind space. We were immediately attracted to the company’s strong track-record in British engineering and manufacturing as well as the business’ heritage and growth under Stephen Wick and CEO, Steven Greenall.”
Greenall will continue as CEO, leading the staff at its dedicated manufacturing facility in Poole, UK and selling through its existing international network of distributors and retailers.
Stephen Wick concluded by saying, “On behalf of the Wick family, we are sincerely grateful to all our customers, suppliers, artists, educators and the wider music community for the support they have entrusted in us for the past fifty-seven years. I look forward to seeing many of you at the NAMM Show in January.
