In 2007.

Essex Wire took over the building in 1976, and moved the Cleveland Electronics loudspeaker manufacturing business there that year. In 1981, Harman International purchased the operation from United technologies/Essex, and renamed it Harman-Motive. In 1995, Harman acquired Becker Radio (Germany) and renamed the auto division from Harman-Motive to Harman/Becker Automotive Systems. In 2007 the Martinsville plant was closed, (most production moved to Suzhou China) and loudspeaker design engineering was relocated to Novi Michigan, to be near the rest of the US design team.
