Euro Media Group reinforces its Italian activity with the acquisition of Infront Centro Produzione
posted:
This acquisition is part of the EMG’s strategy to consolidate its business in the
very fragmented Italian market, as well as to expand its range of production
capacities and services thus enabling the Group to provide exhaustive media
solutions to its world’s leading sports and entertainment clients. EMG will rely on
the experience and expertise of ICP’s current team to continue developing the
business. Becoming 3zero2 Studios, this activity will strongly enhance the offer
currently proposed by EMG in Italy through its companies 3zero2tv for media and
production solutions, Netco Sports for additional services such as graphics and
digital and Global Production for on-site services. Objective is to create a
connected media center to service Italian and international clients using EMG’s
IP and remote broadcast solutions.

Patrick van den Berg, co-CEO of EMG, said: “We are excited to welcome Infront
Centro Produzione and its very talented and respected team into the Euro Media
Group. In the continuity of the acquisitions in 2019 of Global Production in Italy
and Telegenic in the UK, this transaction fully fits into our international growth
strategy, particularly our ambition to consolidate our position in markets with
strong potential through both organic growth and acquisitions. This operation
showcases the strong trust existing between EMG and Infront, and will contribute
to further strengthen this long-lasting and fruitful relationship. We are happy that we are able to continue our growth strategy also during this particular COVID-19
period.”
Alessandro Giacomini, Managing Director of Infront Italy, said: “We are pleased
that Infront Centro Produzione will join EMG. Over the last 5 years, we have
enabled ICP to reach a very high level of services and we believe that EMG is
today the right partner to allow the company to move to the next step of its
development. It will benefit from EMG expertise and network to further extend
its scope of activity and customer base. We are looking forward to continue
working with EMG to support our projects and productions in Italy and all over
the globe.”
