5月3日的报导,音箱制造商Bowers & Wilkins的主事者,同时也是公司最大的股东Joe Atkins,有意要将这个拥有1,100多位员工的公司出售给一家规模只有40人的硅谷新创公司Eva Automation。

这家新创公司创立于2014年的老板名叫 Gideon Yu,先前在Youtube与脸书担任财务长。目前关于这家公司的消息并不多,公司网站只说该公司(制造改变人们互动与对家庭想法的产品),而且根据Linkedin的网站,该公司四分之一员工有在Apple的工作经验。Gideon Yu表示,Eva Automation会持续投资B&W,并计划在2017年中销售结合Eva Automation技术的产品。

关于EVA Automation

EVA Automation创立于2014年,硅谷知名高管吉迪恩?余(Gideon Yu)为该新创公司Eva Automation的CEO。公司拥有40名员工,刚创建仅5个月,便已获得2000万美元的A轮融资,投资方包括风投机构Formation8、雅虎联合创始人杨致远、阿里巴巴执行副主席蔡崇信、李嘉诚以及YouTube创始人查德*赫利(Chad Hurley)和陈士骏(Steve Chen)。
通过Eva Automation官网可以看到该公司的标语是“让A/V突破想象(A/V reimagined)”。招聘启事中写道,“Eva制造的设备将改变他们与家居互动的方式并颠覆他们对家居的看法。他们正在组建消费电子行业中一支世界一流的技术团队。”该网站列出的职位空缺涵盖硬件、软件以及固件工程,这表明该公司的设备或许与在线服务有关。

EVA Automation joins forces with Bowers & Wilkins
A letter from our founder
Friends of EVA,
I am beyond thrilled to announce that we have acquired Bowers & Wilkins—in my opinion, the absolute quality and design leader in high-end audio equipment. I’ve personally been a huge fan and loyal customer of Bowers & Wilkins for decades and truly admire and respect their Chairman, Joe Atkins. What he and his team have created over the past 30 years is simply inspiring.
Since I founded EVA Automation two years ago, we have been working hard to create fantastic home A/V user experiences. When it was time to seek out partners for our journey ahead, Bowers & Wilkins was unquestionably our #1 choice, and after I met Joe and his team, it was immediately clear that we share the same long term product vision and sincere passion for home entertainment.
To my new friends at Bowers & Wilkins: I can’t wait to meet all of you! Your brand and heritage are second to none, and we at EVA are excited to operate as one combined company under the Bowers & Wilkins name. Joe Atkins has graciously agreed to remain the CEO of our combined company, while I will be our Executive Chairman. There are very few leaders in home A/V as experienced, respected and successful as Joe, and I look forward to partnering with and learning from him…and all of you.
One of the most important parts of our acquisition is that Joe is maintaining a significant equity stake in our combined company and will be joining our board of directors, further aligning all of our interests.
We will have much, much more to announce when the time is right about our vision and our products. In the meantime, we will continue to work hard on developing a truly special, highly integrated, and easy to use home A/V experience that I know you’ll love.
Until then,
Gideon Yu
Executive Chairman
Bowers & Wilkins

自从两年前EVA Automation的成立,他们努力工作去创造异想天开的家用A/V用户体验。是时候物色未来旅程的合作伙伴了,Bowers & Wilkins毫无疑问的成为他们的第一选择,当我遇到Joe和他的团队,一切豁然开朗,他们有着共同的长期产品视觉和对家庭娱乐的真心实意的热爱。
致我的新朋友Bowers & Wilkins:我已经迫不及待的想要拥抱所有的你!你的品牌和文化传承是最棒的,而他们可以在EVA兴奋运作Bowers & Wilkins名下的如此一家联合公司。Joe Atkins欣然同意在他们的联合公司留任CEO职位,而我将担任联合公司的主席团执行主席。在家用A/V领域,Joe是极少数有着丰富阅历、值得尊重和获取成功的领导者,而我如此期盼与之并肩,师从于他......还有你们所有人。
他们的收购一个至关紧要的部分,就是Joe能够保持在他们的联合公司的重大股权,并将加入他们的董事会,进一步调整他们所有的利益。
他们将会在时机成熟时,有更多更全面关于他们的愿景和产品的发布,当时间是正确的关于他们的视觉与他们的产品。与此同时,他们将继续努力工作去开发一个真正有品、高度集成及使用便捷的家庭A/V体验,我知道您一定会喜欢的。
