FBT, the Italian loudspeaker manufacturer, has now established its own UK office and will commence trading this month. Known as FBT Audio (UK) Ltd, the London based company will be focused on sales and distribution of its global brand throughout the UK and Ireland.

FBT Audio UK‘s joint founding partner and Managing Director, Mark Parkhouse, is well-known within the pro-audio community having held long-term senior positions for more than 15 years, latterly as Head of Sales & Marketing for Trantec at TOA Corporation. His in-depth knowledge and experience means he is ideally positioned to meet this industry’s demands.



Founded in 1963 as a simple artisan workshop, FBT has now grown into a leading international company where every stage of the production chain is carried out in their Italian factory – R&D, plastic molding, electronics, carpentry, paint shop, and quality control. FBT now remains at the cutting edge of speaker system development, with heavy investments in research and high-tech manufacturing. Recent installations are as far afield as Beijing, New Delhi, Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Spain, and Singapore.
