CH Media sells AT Verlag
CH Media is selling its book publishing division, AT Verlag—which also includes Atmosphären Verlag in Munich—to BT Holding. The acquisition will take effect on October 1, 2020.
As the media company wrote in a press release on Thursday, the sale of AT Verlag is in line with CH Media's strategy of focusing on the two main pillars of publishing (with a focus on paid newspapers) and entertainment (TV, radio, events). BT Holding is taking over all employees. The parties have agreed not to disclose the sale price.
AT Verlag was founded in 1978 as a book publisher for the Aargauer Tagblatt newspaper and publishes around 40 non-fiction books a year on the subjects of cooking and drinks, wild plants, nature, handicrafts, medicine, hiking and Switzerland. Its annual turnover is around six million francs.
