All this places our company in an enviable
position. Our products have long been in demand
for bookshelves, dashboards, and stages around
the world. More important, our integration
capabilities enable us to express the best of our
technologies in scalable and highly satisfying
lifestyle responsive systems.
I remember when “infotainment” was considered
something of a fad. Customers and analysts won-
dered if the trend would last. Few now question
the “legs” of the infotainment phenomenon, and
even fewer would leave home without the
communications, entertainment and naviga-
tion tools that have become an essential part of
daily life.
In Professional audio, we are privileged to serve
the world’s leading artists and entertainment
venues. As lifestyles evolve around the world,
demand will grow for high quality audio in
theater and sports venues. Our proven expertise
in outfitting such facilities, combined with a
growing footprint in the developing world, will
spur our wonderful Professional Audio business
further.
These are times of extraordinary challenge and
opportunity, and we are well prepared. We are
blessed with a team of extraordinary employees,
suppliers and business partners. Our company is
strong financially and we possess a wonderful
product portfolio that carries the industry’s
leading names. We look forward to the future
with renewed enthusiasm and confidence.
Sincerely,
Sidney Harman
Executive Chairman
The Harman/Becker Traffic Assist
™
offers aftermarket consumers a
rich infotainment experience blending audio, navigation and multimedia
in one compact device.
More than 200,000 visitors attended the IFA Consumer Electronics
Show in Berlin, Germany where Harman hosted customers, partners,
and press from around the world.
