APS Group acquires Relate4U
APS Group has acquired Netherlands-based marketing, design and print management company Relate4U as part of a strategic growth strategy that will see APS expand its services in Europe and the US. APS has acquired a majority shareholding of the company through the newly-formed Netherlands-based venture APS Group BV.
There is an exceptional cultural and commercial fit between the two companies which made the decision to acquire Relate4U relatively straightforward. We have been aware of the work Relate4U has been delivering for a number of years and have been impressed with their innovative and commercial approach.
Cross-media marketing services
Eindhoven-based Relate4U is a ten-year-old company currently employing 34 people and generates turnover of around €4.5m per annum. All existing employees will be retained under the new arrangement including staff based at the company’s US operation in Portland, Oregon. Relate4U has established itself as a global provider of marketing services, working with large companies in sectors including electronics, automotive and sporting goods.We consider the arrangement between the two companies to be mutually beneficial as our core activities complement one another well. As a company and as individuals we are very positive about the opportunities being part of a larger organisation will bring. We look forward to developing new service lines for our current and future clients across Europe and the US.
Single services & integrated solutions
Relate4U has developed a number of innovative technologies for print management and marketing services, which will be added to APS’s range of services. These technologies include online editing and translation tools, an online multi-format document design tool, social media applications and individualised marketing collateral production capabilities.©2011 APS Group BV
