Europa Star and its series of publications in the fields of horology, jewellery and precision engineering are returning to the family that founded them more than 83 years ago. We at Eurotec, part of this batch of publications, are excited about the opportunities this new step offers us.
In 1927, a young entrepreneur, Hugo Buchser, established the Geneva publishing house that was to become Europa Star and the multitude of other international luxury, jewellery and precision machinery publications and titles. These were the first international "business to business" media to be created in these sectors, with issues and editions in English, French, German, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Thai, Japanese, Chinese and Cyrillic.
83 years later, the Maillard-Buchser family, with Philippe Maillard at the helm of the publishing group since he took over from his father Gilbert Maillard in 1992, has re-acquired the totality of the company’s shares. The company was previously under the ownership of a number of different media, marketing and communication groups (UN&M, Miller Freeman, Bill Communication, and most recently VNU).
For Eurotec’s readers and advertisers as well as partners, there is no change in the day to day business. We will continue to give them the best possible magazine, both in term of targeted readers and added value content. Nevertheless this will bring us more possibilities to create products tailored to our advertisers and readers.
Stay tunned, you’re at the right place to grasp valuable information on microtechnology.
Cheers py
