In this period the company gained a market share of over 40%.[6][7] In 1992, a new company was founded in Spain, Amplifon Iberica, which expanded into Portugal a few years later.[8] Between 1998 and 2000, Amplifon entered Switzerland, Austria, France,[7] Netherlands[9] and the United States markets through acquisitions.[10] The Amplifon stock started to be traded in the Borsa Italiana in June 2001.[11] In the same year, they entered a joint venture with Bardissi Medical in the Middle East,[10] in Egypt, alongside the acquisition of stores in Hungary.[12] In 2002, Amplifon acquired the Sonus Corporation in the United States, and later in 2003 took hold of the National Hearing Centers, a company with stores located primarily in large shopping centres.[13] In the following years Amplifon continued its acquisition strategy in the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Belgium.[10] In 2010, in fact, the company acquired 100% of National Hearing Care (NHC) in Australia, New Zealand and India.[14][15][16] In 2012 they expanded into more regions in India,[17] acquired 51% of Maxtone in the Turkish Market,[18] and entered the Polish market by founding Amplifon Poland.[19] Brazil followed in 2014 with Amplifon's purchase of 51% of shares in the Brazilian company Direito de Ouvir.{{citation needed|date=April 2019}} In 2016 the company invested Euro 80 million to acquire 170 stores, including two retail chains in Germany and another in Canada. In 2017, Amplifon invested a further Euro 110 million for the acquisition of 300 stores, including two retail chains in France and Portugal.[11] A year later, Amplifon completed its largest acquisition, acquiring the Catalan GAES for Euro 528 million. GAES has 600 stores (about 500 in Spain, and the remainder scattered across Portugal and Latin America),[20][21] 1,800 employees, and 210 million in revenue.[11] Since 2015, the Amplifon stock value tripled, outperforming the FTSE MIB, the index of the top 40 listed companies in the Borsa Italiana.[11] As of August 2018, the share price has risen nearly 1,000% since its IPO.[22] The chairman is Susan Carol Holland, daughter of Algernon, who owns 44.9% of Amplifon through her family's holding company.[2] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://corporate.amplifon.com/documents/20182/1775040/pr-fy-2018-results-05-03-2019.pdf/ad674635-af1d-40c1-9df3-2325d44f7094|title=Annual Report 2018|access-date= 8 March 2019}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/new-billionaires-show-hearing-aids-are-sound-investment|title=New billionaires show that hearing aids are a sound investment|author=|date=24 August 2018|website=theedgemarkets.com|accessdate=14 September 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web |url= https://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2001/03/17/il-partigiano-che-sconfisse-la-sordita.html|title=Il partigiano che sconfisse la sordità |access-date= 29 March 2019}} 4. ^{{cite web |url= https://argomenti.ilsole24ore.com/amplifon.html|title=Amplifon -
