Under the partnership which began late last year, Foxconn is now fully up-and-running manufacturing Turtle Beach's lineup of high-quality gaming headsets, as well as the Company's first-of-its-kind hearing healthcare product for people with hearing loss, HyperSound Clear, at their facilities in China and Mexico.

"Adding Foxconn as a key global manufacturing partner, in conjunction with our recently announced global logistics partnership with Keuhne + Nagel – two of the best in the business in their respective fields – frames our supply chain development strategy, which is designed to support Turtle Beach's market expansion as we manage costs, optimize inventory and maintain superior product quality."
"We are excited to be selected as a strategic partner to Turtle Beach, a company known for their innovative, technology-driven products and global leadership in gaming audio," said Mark Chien, Senior Executive Vice President, Foxconn. "We look forward to leveraging our strong expertise in high-quality consumer electronics manufacturing to deliver their groundbreaking HyperSound Clear product to consumers later this year."
