Ringier Romandie strengthens online activities
The Ringier media group has acquired the entire stake in the Vaud-based company Original. The company specializes in website development.
Ringier Romandie is strengthening its online activities: The publishing house has acquired the entire share package of the company Original S.A. in Romanel, Vaud. The company specializes in the development of websites and owns several online portals such as Tempslibre.ch, Bonresto.ch and Cineromandie.ch. Ringier Romandie hopes that the purchase will enable it to grow its Internet presence in French-speaking Switzerland together with its own Internet portals such as Hebdo.ch, Illustre.ch, Tv8.ch and Edelweissmag.ch. Eric Fankhauser, founder of Original, will remain with the company and will co-decide on the joint strategy with Ringier. The parties have agreed not to disclose the price of the transaction, as Ringier Romandie announced on Friday.
