Berlin, 27.08.2008
bmp AG (ISIN DE0003304200) announces three new investments for its bmp
Media Investors, the company specialising in the industries of Media &
Marketing Services.
In the last weeks, bmp has undertaken three seed investments, which will
commence business at the end of August or the beginning of September, once
registration has been completed. A sum of approximately EUR0.6 million was
agreed upon, which will be paid on a milestone by milestone basis.
The companies in question are as follows:
– Microshooting GmbH in Düsseldorf, in which bmp owns a stake of 35%.
Microshooting develops a platform for order distribution within the
‘imaging industry’. The platform aims at marketing agencies as well as
directly at companies, which require a constantly growing volume of
professionally created graphical material for their advertising,
product design, company profile and webpages. The company was founded
together with two experienced experts in the industry.
– Sklepy firmowe.pl Sp. z o.o. in Gdynia (Poland), in which bmp owns a
stake of 59.46%. The company offers a simple to use, highly functional
and highly adaptable e-shop infrastructure to companies and private
individuals, which is linked to various additional commercial services.
Several entrepreneurs, who have been active in this industry sector for
some time and who intend to expand this service, have partnered with
bmp.
– Pomocni Sp. z o.o. in Warsaw, in which bmp owns a stake of 8.61%.
Pomocni plans to set up an agency for household related services, in
particular childcare (nannies) to begin with. This investment has been
implemented in conjunction with several Business Angels under the
management of Lukasz Gadowski and an experienced team of founders.
Jens Spyrka, Director of bmp Media Investors says: ‘We made good use of the
summer to expand our portfolio by adding interesting business ideas and
experienced business partners. The projects’ early stages do not constitute
a particular burden on us, as we possess the proven expertise in this
segment on the one hand, and the founding teams possess extensive
experience in each respective industry sector on the other. Currently, we
anticipate a further two to three new investments for bmp Media Investors
in the course of 2008. The entire portfolio shows a dynamic development and
resilience towards the changes in the economic environment.’
