Tuned in for expansion, Xone to set up Chennai unit.

Xone, manufacturer of the eponymous wire-free headphones that also feature in-built MP3 players and FM tuners, will set up a new facility in Chennai to expand its product offerings.

The plant will come up at the SIPCOT industrial park at Sriperumbudur, where the company would manufacture “a range of music and speaker systems that would plug the gaps in the Indian market,” said Xone’s Managing Director Bharath Subramaniam.

Currently, it imports speakers (from Kenwood) and flashes (Toshiba) and assembles its headphones at a small facility in Chennai.

But now its R&D team has developed a range of products including Bluetooth-enabled music systems, headphones and sound bars, 'which, we are sure, will take the Xone brand to the next phase of growth', Subramaniam said.
