CE Pro News Philips Pronto Dead Again
A consortium of European distributors had tried to acquire Pronto from Philips but the deal fell through. RIP Pronto. We mean it this time.
Philips Pronto, the Philips division that used to make higher-end remote controls, is gone for good.
Philips announced last year that it was closing the division, but CE Pro learned afterward that efforts for a rescue efforts were afoot and almost certainly guaranteed.
Alas, the would-be acquirers were unable to close the deal with Philips.
We learned recently that it was a group of three European distributors who had tried to resurrect Philips.
