"The name change represents the culmination of a reorganization that began in 2004, when the former illbruck GmbH divested its subsidiaries," says Joerg Hutmacher, business unit manager, pinta acoustic, inc. "The change from illbruck acoustic to pinta acoustic allows us to further differentiate ourselves from the other parts of the former illbruck GmbH and focus on worldwide niche markets."
The name "pinta" was selected because of the company founder's association with high-performance sailing. In 1969, Willi illbruck named his first sailing yacht "pinta." The inspiration for the name was the historical Pinta, the fastest of the ships used by Christopher Columbus on his voyage to America. In 2002, Michael illbruck's racing team won the Volvo Challenge.
