LZ Medien takes over Maxiprint
LZ Medien Holding is acquiring 68 percent of the shares in the online printing company Maxiprint from its previous owners and founders, Ingo Grünig and Marcos Gonzalez. With this acquisition, the Central Swiss media company becomes the sole owner.
LZ Medien had already acquired the Swiss Internet printing company Maxiprint.ch In 2009, it also acquired a 32% stake in the company Maxiprint Licensing International (MLI). With retroactive effect from January 1, 2015, the subsidiary of the NZZ Media Group is now acquiring the remaining 68 percent of MLI and thus all Maxiprint companies. The acquisition will enable LZ Medien Holding to merge the two companies, expand Maxiprint's market position and thus create optimal conditions for profitable growth, as detailed in a press release.
The Maxiprint employees will be taken on by the new owner. The transaction will also not result in any changes for customers and partners of the Maxiprint companies. The previous owners, Ingo Grünig and Marcos Gonzalez, will pursue new career paths, but will continue to be available to the company as consultants.
