QUICK FACTS
QUOTES
“Counterfeit products damage our entire industry. We collaborate with other highly-reputable audio manufacturers to take a strong and united stance against counterfeiters. We are deeply committed to protecting our brand and ensuring that our customers receive a genuine Shure product every time they purchase an item bearing the Shure brand. As a manufacturer, we do not want our trademark appearing on poor quality copies produced illegally, and we will pursue enforcement action in the very best interests of protecting our customers, as well as our brand. Consumers should be highly suspicious of any “factory direct” deals and unreasonably low prices. Whether these offers are found at retail outlets or online, our customers need to know that if something seems too good to be true, it’s almost certainly bogus.”, said Al Hershner, Vice President of the Shure Americas and Asia Business Units.
