The extensive Speedlink range includes sound systems, headsets, mice, mouse pads, keyboards, gamepads and gaming chairs, as well as a wide range of IT accessories that combine the latest technologies with an attractive design.
Speedlink took launched as early as 2001 the extremely successful 2.1 GRAVITY loudspeaker system, which is still one of the company's bestsellers to this day. But that's not all: Speedlink successfully expanded into over 30 European countries.
Thomas Raff, spokesman for the management of Zeitfracht Medien: “Speedlink has written a rare success story in this area and has secured a permanent place in the PC and gaming accessories scene. We are proud that Speedlink is part of Zeitfracht Medien.”
