Axel Springer interested in further acquisitions in Switzerland
If interesting opportunities were to arise, the Axel Springer Group would not rule out further acquisitions in Switzerland. CEO Mathias Döpfner told the Handelszeitung on Wednesday.
Even after its major buying spree in December 2006, the Axel Springer Group is still very interested in the Swiss market and is "not ruling out further acquisitions if interesting opportunities arise", as CEO Mathias Döpfner told the Handelszeitung on Wednesday. This could take place in both the print and online sectors. However, the focus is on organic growth of the Swiss brands that have already been acquired. The Group intends to continue investing in this area, both on paper and online. Döpfner also said that the growth of the future lies in internationalization and digitalization. In addition to Switzerland, the Group wants to grow in Eastern and Western Europe, for example in Spain and France.
