Warwick Acoustics to Manufacture Flat Panel Speakers at Mira

Warwick Acoustics, a leading company in automotive flat speaker technology, is making significant strides in expanding its manufacturing capabilities. The company has established a new factory at the MIRA Technology Park (MTP), which is known as Europe’s largest automotive research and development site. This move marks a pivotal moment for Warwick Acoustics as it gears up for the production of its innovative Electrostatic Audio Panels.

Designed, engineered, and manufactured in the UK, Warwick Acoustics' flat speaker technology has garnered attention for its groundbreaking features. The Electrostatic Audio Panels, set to revolutionize the automotive audio industry, are not only 90% lighter but also consume 90% less energy compared to traditional automotive speakers. This cutting-edge technology is now in the final stages of industrialization, with the first production contract signed in June 2023.

The company's commitment to innovation is underscored by its extensive patent portfolio. Warwick Acoustics has secured eight patent families for its electrostatic flat panel speaker technology, with two additional patents pending. This intellectual property protection reflects the company's dedication to pushing the boundaries of automotive audio technology and setting new industry standards.

Located in Warwickshire, the new manufacturing site at MTP is set to operate entirely on renewable energy. A 7MW solar farm, currently under construction on the premises, will power the facility, aligning with Warwick Acoustics' sustainability goals. CEO Mike Grant expressed his enthusiasm for the expansion, emphasizing the importance of local production for ensuring product quality and sustainability.

Supported by Midlands-based venture capital firm Mercia Asset Management and the Midlands Engine initiative, Warwick Acoustics is well-positioned for growth. The company benefits from access to a highly skilled automotive talent pool in the region, enabling it to recruit top-tier professionals to drive innovation and business development. With a recent £7 million funding round successfully completed, Warwick Acoustics is poised to revolutionize the in-cabin audio experience and make a significant impact in the global automotive market.
