Affichage Holding: sale of interests in Italy

January 10, 2012

Affichage Holding SA has sold to the existing minority shareholder its 85% stake in First Avenue GmbH, a company based in Bozen/Bolzano in Italy, that it held through APG Allgemeine Plakatgesellschaft AG. 

As planned, therefore, it is withdrawing from this region. The group has thus taken a further step towards implementing its strategy – already pursued vigorously in the past year – of scaling back its international portfolio and focusing on its core Swiss business.
