This acquisition is integral to Impact's overall strategic initiative to increase its focus on professional communications, especially in the U.S. and Canadian military and public safety market, according to the company.

"This alliance brings key strengths together that will benefit our dealer and end user customers for years to come," commented Keith Kostek, Owner and Chief Executive Officer of Impact Radio Accessories.
