SAN DIEGO, 1 July 2008. Officials of electronics component manufacturer Pulse in San Diego, say the company's Sonion division is now operating under the Pulse name. Sonion makes microacoustic transducers and micromechanical components for hearing instruments, wireless handsets, and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS)-based microphones.
Pulse, a Technitrol company, acquired Sonion last February and made Sonion part of Technitrol's Electronic Components segment, which does business under the name of Pulse. Sonion is based in Roskilde, Denmark and has facilities in Poland, China, Vietnam, the U.S., and the Netherlands.
As part of Pulse, Sonion's activities related to hearing instrument components, pro-audio, and medical device components will continue as a group called MedTech. The mobile terminal components and MEMS microphone activities will become part of Pulse's existing Wireless group.
