Customers and partners can expect a seamless transition, as Jasco is committed to maintaining the core values that have driven Zooz's success. By doubling down on the investment in Zooz, Jasco intends to enhance customer loyalty and satisfy the demands of smart home enthusiasts.

Commitment to Broader Growth Initiatives

This acquisition is part of Jasco’s larger strategic growth plan, which includes exploring new brands, technologies, and market avenues related to connected living solutions. Jasco’s CEO, Jason Trice, emphasizes the potential in Zooz’s future growth:

“Zooz has built an exceptional brand, earned tremendous loyalty from its customers, and consistently delivered innovative products that solve real needs in the smart home category. This acquisition aligns perfectly with our vision for the future.”

Citing the need for a strong partnership, Zooz’s VP of Brand and Partnership Support, Agnes Lorenz, expressed confidence in the decision to join Jasco:

“Jasco brings the resources, capabilities, and vision necessary to elevate the Zooz brand to new heights while protecting the reputation and customer relationships we have worked so hard to build.”

Commitment to Charity

In line with its existing corporate responsibility practices, Jasco will allocate 50% of the net profits generated by Zooz to charitable causes. This commitment emphasizes Jasco's dedication to giving back, a philosophy that extends across its various brands.

As Jasco continues to invest in the smart home sector, the collaboration with Zooz indicates an exciting future not only for the two companies but also for consumers looking for innovative home solutions.
