- The founder of the bankrupted Japanese tech company is making a comeback.
Hidesato Shiino, the founder of Vestax, has announced plans for a new line of products.
Vestax filed for bankruptcy at the end of 2014. Now, DJ Tech Tools have reported on a blog post from Shiino in which he confirmed that a new mixer, turntable, power and pre-amplifier, SP system and signal devices are set for release from March of 2016. Each product will be released in limited runs of 10-20 units per month.
In the post Shiino describes the demise of the company after he ceded control in 2002. He also apologised to DJs for a decline in the quality of Vestax products following his departure, but promised to revive the brands' fortunes with this new line of products.
