A World Without Barriers: Nice Completes Transformation of Nortek Control

Carlsbad, CA — September 28, 2022 — Nice, a global manufacturer of smart home, security, and building automation solutions, today announced the completed transition from Nortek Control to Nice North America.

This milestone strengthens the Nice global brand and solidifies its position as a powerhouse in North America. Partners, including dealers, integrators, builders, and distributors, will benefit from its broad portfolio for residential, commercial, and industrial solutions, deeper partner programs, and expanded training and certification for the field.

By integrating ELAN^®, SpeakerCraft^®, and Panamax^® into Nice, the company will progressively leverage its full portfolio of solutions for home and building management. This transition will take place over the next year.
