Arri Has Been Acquired by German Entrepreneur Thomas Riedel
ARRI will keep its Munich headquarters and existing management as the companies plan integrated tools for live entertainment and sports, with financial terms undisclosed.
- Thomas Riedel, founder of Riedel Communications and the Riedel Group, acquired ARRI, the legendary German motion picture technology company, which will retain independent operations and remain headquartered in Munich.
- Founded in 1917, ARRI has been family-owned for over a century, but owners began exploring a sale last August to streamline operations, and Riedel's bid was chosen in a competitive international process.
- "My entrepreneurial path has been closely tied to ARRI for years," said Thomas Riedel, as the acquisition allows the Riedel Group to integrate its live production expertise with ARRI's camera and lighting technology.
- Under the new ownership, ARRI's existing management team will continue to lead the company, and ARRI will debut its camera technology at the Eurovision Song Contest, where Riedel serves as the technology provider.
- Riedel, acting as the 100 percent shareholder, plans to strengthen ARRI's direction as a "Trusted Technology Leader for the Next Generation of Media & Entertainment" to unlock growth in live entertainment and sports.
