History
The historical background of the brand go back to the youth of Engineer Hugo Nicasio Mendez Collado, who since 1949 began making amplifiers in his house. Years later they would be sold in the main cities of Latin America. Later on his children would continue his legacy, and they founded SKP.
In Latin America in the early 90s, sound reinforcement professionals and musicians only had very few affordable products offering, which did not had in count the particularities of the region (such as electrical power supply fluctuations).
The company has a presence in 28 different countries with branches throughout Latin America and in the USA.
