Bantiger Post goes to Vetter Druck from Thun
Vetter Druck, based in Thun, will take over the *Bantiger Post* from Espace Media effective December 19, 2014. The *Bantiger Post* is a local newspaper and the official publication of community organizations in the Worblental valley.
The Bantiger Post was founded in 1947 by printer Charles Schoch in Ostermundigen. In 1995, Espace Media took a stake in the free newspaper, which, in addition to editorial contributions, also publishes current community news and offers a service portal at Bantigerpost.ch operates. The sale to a locally anchored print shop thus closes the circle after more than 67 years, according to a Tamedia statement. The new owners will continue to run the business as before and take over the existing team. Espace Media and Vetter Druck already cooperate closely in the production and distribution of the Thuner Amtsanzeiger.
The Bantiger Post is distributed to every household in the municipalities of Bolligen, Ittigen, Ostermundigen as well as Bern-Burgfeld, Stettlen and Vechigen/Boll/Utzingen and thus achieves a coverage of almost 100 percent. With a normal circulation of 22'321 copies and a large circulation of 27'578 copies, Bantiger Post concentrates on an economically strong and lucrative area for traders with a low scattering loss. The parties have agreed not to disclose details of the sale, according to the statement.
