According to its own statements, Zeitfracht GmbH & Co. KGaA, the leading media logistics specialist, is expanding its core business area and acquiring a majority stake in the Darmstadt-based BuchPartner GmbH. Just about a week ago, the group announced a name change. The previous KNV Zeitfracht is now Zeitfracht GmbH.
(Berlin/Darmstadt) Zeitfracht GmbH is acquiring a majority stake in BuchPartner GmbH in Darmstadt, subject to the approval of the antitrust authorities, thereby expanding its core business area of media logistics. BuchPartner is a full-service provider for books and media, operating throughout the German-speaking region. The company’s customer base primarily includes supermarkets, consumer markets, electronics retailers, and discounters. BuchPartner manages and supports professional book departments in these markets and offers various tailored space concepts and book assortments. Currently, BuchPartner oversees and supplies over 5,000 sales areas in Germany and Austria.
The deal complements existing services
Dominik Wiehage, spokesperson for the Zeitfracht management: “BuchPartner complements the existing services of the Zeitfracht group very well. With the new partnership, we see further opportunities for synergies. We are pleased that BuchPartner will also be part of the Zeitfracht family in the future and warmly welcome the new colleagues. Zeitfracht has always proven to be a reliable partner for new companies in the group, focusing on continuity. With Kai Gellert as managing director and the Darmstadt location, we will continue to rely on continuity and predictability.”
BuchPartner GmbH has a total of 820 employees and is headquartered in Darmstadt. Through close collaboration with almost all publishing houses in Germany, the company offers customers an exclusive, independent, and tailored product range. The company operates its own logistics center in Darmstadt.
