Control4 Corporation, a global provider of smart home solutions, today announced the acquisition of Switzerland-based NEEO, the creators of the smart home remote, to accelerate its leadership in delivering remotes, touch panels, keypads and other smart home devices.
Introduced in 2016, NEEO’s remote quickly gained industry recognition for its simplistic set up, out-of-box interoperability with thousands of devices and its beautifully conceived industrial design. Based in Bern, the NEEO product team has been led by the company’s founder Raphael Oberholzer and will be working with the Control4 engineering group in Salt Lake City on the development of the next generation of Control4 remote controls, touch panels, keypads and other devices. Oberholzer will take a leadership role in the development of Control4’s interaction devices and will report to Charlie Kindel, Control4 senior vice president, products & services.
