Amplifon has completed the acquisition of two companies, Safe in Sound Hearing, LLC and SISH Tucson, LLC, which own a total of 24 locations in Arizona, in the hearing care-rich market of the United States.
Both companies, belonging to the same ownership, represent the fourth largest franchisee of Miracle-Ear, the brand through which the Amplifon Group operates in the United States with direct and franchised locations. The two companies have combined annual revenues of over 15 million dollars and employ a total of 65 people.

“This acquisition is part of our strategy to continue growing in the most important global market in our sector by strengthening a network of direct locations to support our established franchise network”, comments Amplifon CEO Enrico Vita.

“This retail business model, developed in recent years, has proven to be very successful and allows us to serve an increasing number of people in all 50 American states in an excellent way,” added Vita.

Following this acquisition, the Miracle-Ear network in the United States exceeds 420 direct locations, which are in addition to approximately 1,200 franchised locations. In 2024, the United States became the Amplifon Group’s largest market in terms of revenue.

This latest acquisition follows strong 2024 results for the group and an additional financing deal.

 

 

FT and Statista put Amplifon among European Climate Leaders

 

April 2025 has been a good month for Amplifon, and a green one: the Italian group has been included in the list of Europe’s Climate Leaders 2025, compiled by Statista and published by the Financial Times. Amplifon is the only company in the audiology sector ranking and the only Italian in the Healthcare & medical technology category.
The list recognizes 600 companies that have demonstrated the greatest commitment over the past five years to reducing Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions, while also showing transparency on Scope 3 emissions, collaborating with international organisations, and setting clear sustainability goals.

The selection process involves a detailed data analysis and assessment of initiatives, including the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Amplifon’s sustainability credentials are, therefore, growing in number, the company having also recently been included in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2025, and the list of the World Most Sustainable Companies 2024 for TIME Magazine. It also obtained a ‘Score B’ in the CDP Climate Change questionnaire.
