The acquisition, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions, will significantly expand the Paris-headquartered multinational’s reach in the Adriatic region.
Established in 1990, Fortuna Digital now has a presence in Croatia, Serbia, Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia and Austria, generating revenues of over €19m (£16.3m). It employs a team of 75.
Fortuna Digital supplies printers with new and used machines, materials and display kit, with new machines sold from brands including HP’s Latex range, Summa, Widinovations, Kongsberg, Klieverik, Fotoba, d.gen, DGI and Agfa.
“Antalis is delighted to welcome a new, experienced and talented team that has proven its ability to develop visual communications over the last few years,” said Hervé Poncin, CEO of the Antalis Group.
“This acquisition will allow us to expand our European presence to the Adriatics. It will also reinforce our cooperation with the best visual communication manufacturers.
“We are confident that this strategic investment will help us accelerate our growth while continuing to meet our clients' needs with products and services that exceed their expectations.”
Vice Stanić, managing director and founder of Fortuna Digital, added: “We are delighted to join the Antalis Group, enabling us to provide more advanced solutions and respond proactively to evolving market challenges.
“I am confident that our outstanding team will continue to bring its expertise to the Antalis group. Our clients will benefit not only from state-of-the-art products but also from enhanced support that will assist their digital transformation. This will strengthen the links with our suppliers.”
Antalis’ acquisition of Fortuna Digital follows hot on the heels of its acquisition of Leicester-based The Packaging Company. The 24-person, £3.2m operation’s purchase was completed on 4 April, bringing to Antalis UK’s portfolio a wider offering of bespoke and short-run packaging.
