Demant has completed the sale of EPOS to ACCO Brands for a purchase price of EUR 7 million (around DKK 50 million), with an additional EUR 3 million (around DKK 25 million) being contingent upon achievement of certain future milestones. This marks the conclusion of the strategic review of the Group’s Communications business area. The transaction, which was finalised in January 2026, places EPOS with an owner better positioned to support its continued development in a competitive global market.

The agreement ensures the continuity of EPOS’ operations and provides a strong foundation for future growth, driven by ACCO Brands’ international reach and category breadth.

“I’m pleased that ACCO Brands has taken over the ownership of EPOS. With their global footprint and portfolio, they are well positioned to support the company’s next chapter. This divestment marks the final milestone in sharpening our strategic focus on Hearing Healthcare, and I would like to thank the employees of EPOS for their dedication throughout this process. I wish them all the best under ACCO’s future ownership,” says Søren Nielsen, President & CEO of Demant.

With the deal now closed, Demant is fully focused on its core mission of creating life-changing differences through hearing health and on continuing to execute its long-term strategy. The transition has been carried out with careful attention to ensure continuity for customers, partners and employees.
