Kensington and EPOS showcased their integrated professional workspace technology at the Pepcom Holiday Spectacular, marking the brands' first joint appearance since ACCO Brands acquired EPOS. The exhibition highlighted a combined portfolio of connectivity and audio hardware aimed at developing a unified end-to-end workplace ecosystem.
Why it matters
The strategic alignment of these two brands within the ACCO Brands Technology Peripherals business aims to simplify procurement for operators and streamline innovation across docking, ergonomics, and audio equipment.
The integrated portfolio leverages Kensington's 40 years of operation and EPOS's 115 years of audio expertise, now aligning across 60 countries. Performance benchmarks include 39 hours of battery life for the IMPACT 400 headsets and up to 4 months for the KB290-RC keyboard.

Market Landscape
This development follows an industry-wide shift toward consolidating desk peripherals into unified end-to-end ecosystems to simplify corporate procurement. It signals a move away from fragmented vendor management for small-to-mid-sized business operators.
Operators currently sourcing office peripherals should monitor whether this alignment leads to consolidated support channels or bundled pricing for future hardware refreshes. Evaluate your current docking and audio vendor contracts to identify potential consolidation opportunities as the integrated product lineup becomes available.
The takeaway
The merger of these hardware lines creates a single source for essential desk infrastructure, reducing the number of vendor relationships required for workspace setup. Evaluate your existing peripheral refresh cycles to see if a combined procurement strategy could improve your hardware maintenance efficiency.
