Razer acquires THX, allowing it to operate as an independent startup under its own management

Razer today announced that it has acquired THX Ltd.

Acquiring the majority of THX’s assets, Razer will bring “onboard the management and employees of the company,” it today confirmed.

THX will operate as “an independent startup under its own management, separate from the ongoing business of Razer,” it was today confirmed. THX will also have “will have discretion to seek agreements with other product makers, service providers and financial partners apart from Razer,” its new parent confirmed.

“Razer has a vision for innovation at every level of entertainment, a vision which THX has championed since its inception more than 30 years ago,” Razer’s Min-Liang Tan said. “This acquisition will allow us to reinforce Razer’s leadership in gaming and extend the brand into broader areas of entertainment, while at the same time empowering THX to develop into a global powerhouse, independently.”

“For over 30 years, THX has maintained a proud legacy of being one of the leaders in audio technology and certification worldwide,” added THX’s Laurie Fincham. “With their focus on quality, design and innovation, Razer supports our vision to optimize and deliver the best audiovisual experiences to audiences worldwide.”

THX was founded by LucasFilm’s George Lucas in 1983.

Full financial details of the transaction — which closed earlier this month — were not confirmed.
