InMusic closes Native Instruments' UK office amid leadership changes
"InMusic has closed Native Instruments' UK office as the company restructures the music technology brand following its acquisition earlier this year.
A source confirmed the news to Resident Advisor today, August 13th, revealing that all UK-based employees are facing imminent redundancy. Amid speculation around the layoffs, a spokesperson told MusicRadar the company is "simplifying" its "organisational and legal structure, including Native Instruments UK" as part of its integration of the firm.
InMusic acquired Native Instruments in May, following the Berlin-based company's entry into preliminary insolvency proceedings earlier this year. The acquisition brought Native Instruments into the same group as Moog, Akai Professional, Rane, Denon DJ, Numark and Alesis.
InMusic told MusicRadar that Native Instruments remains "a strategically important part" of the company and that product development is continuing, with new hardware and software initiatives planned for 2027 and beyond."
