CT Group (CTG) acquires Multitone Communications Systems PTY Ltd

Multitone Communications Systems PTY Ltd has been acquired by Communications & Technology Group(CTG). Through this acquisition, Multitone Communications Systems will become a subsidiary company of CTG, supplying Multitone’s range of lone worker, paging, integrated alarms, cordless telephony and DECT solutions to the region.

Ian Rose, current Managing Director of Multitone Communications, will remain in position at the Victoria-based headquarters. With the backing of increased resources made available through CTG’s association, a key objective will be to manage the growth of the business as it expands into new markets throughout the country.

As a subsidiary of CTG, Multitone Communications will distribute Multitone’s wireless solutions along the same supply lines as CTG’s existing range of communications technology, in particular to aged care, public and private sector hospitals and hostel markets. Multitone’s range complements the CTG business and both companies are positive about the new partnership.

“This acquisition will give us access to new markets through Multitone’s range of wireless communications technology. The new ownership will represent an increased investment in the business, but we are keen to stress to Multitone’s dealers that it will be business as usual” says Malcolm Briggs, Sales & Marketing Director of CTG.

“We are very pleased to have this new and exclusive association with CT Group” comments Alex Michelis, International Sales Manager at Multitone Electronics plc. “CT Group has strong established routes to our market place and we expect to see good growth in the sectors that Multitone’s products serve in Australia.”
