Frankfurt, 11 March 2013. Following its strategy to consolidate the European market, Hofmann S.L., one of the leading European companies in the print-on-demand market for end-consumers, has acquired a majority stake in posterjack GmbH. Florian Stadler and Johannes Busch, founders and managing directors of posterjack, will continue to manage the company and will remain shareholders with a relevant stake.
Founded in 2005 and based in Munich / Germany, posterjack is one of the leading companies in Central Europe active in the personalized printing wall decor market with products such as posters, canvas and gallery prints. With special focus on Germany, Austria and Switzerland, posterjack has steadily grown at a double digit rate to reach revenues of approx. 10 million Euros in 2012.
The combination of Hofmann and posterjack will lift significant operating and business synergies, especially by broadening posterjack’s product portfolio with Hofmann’s products, e.g. photo books and calendars. Moreover, Hofmann will support the internationalization strategy of posterjack in countries such as France, Benelux, United Kingdom, Poland and Canada.
With the acquisition of posterjack, Hofmann has accelerated its growth strategy in the European market after becoming the undisputed leader in Spain and Portugal in recent years. To foster future growth, the Hofmann-posterjack Group will continue to actively analyze further potential acquisitions.
Corporate Finance Partners – now ACXIT Capital Partners – acted as exclusive M&A adviser to the shareholders of posterjack in this transaction.
