JoWooD acquires German Leisuresoft
The last Step to becoming a top Player in Germany
Games publisher JoWooD Productions Software AG, which is quoted on the Vienna
Stock Exchange, today confirmed that its takeover of the German distributor
Leisuresoft GmbH has just been finalised.
Leisuresoft has a staff headcount of 30 and is among the top distribution
companies in the industry. With this transaction, JoWooD secures access to all
major retail outlets throughout Germany. Leisuresoft GmbH is an important
strategic acquisition for JoWooD Productions, as it will leverage the
distributor’s considerable retail penetration to launch major forthcoming games
titles including the highly anticipated Rally Trophy, as well as the successor
to million-seller “Industry Giant”. A further 15 new releases this year will
benefit from JoWooD’s strengthened distribution capacity. JoWooD also announced
that it plans to further increase market share in the coming months by pursuing
additional distribution agreements and integrating its strategic distribution
partners as minority shareholders in Leisuresoft.
