Native Instruments GmbH preliminary insolvency: now in merger & acquisition process
Berlin-based Native Instruments GmbH entered preliminary insolvency proceedings at the end of January 2026, sending shockwaves through the music tech world. The Berlin-based company, which also encompasses iZotope, Plugin Alliance, and Brainworx, has since been working through a restructuring process. 

CEO Nick Williams has confirmed that an active merger-and-acquisition process is underway, with multiple parties from the audio and technology sector showing strong interest. Operations across all brands continue as normal, with products, downloads, and customer service remaining available. As part of the legal process, NI GmbH and some German entities are expected to transition from "preliminary insolvency" into formal insolvency proceedings. 

An earlier acquisition by Bridgepoint and Bain Capital Credit, approved by the European Commission in late 2025, appears to have fallen through. The outcome as to whether NI is sold whole or broken up remains unclear as at March 2026.
