MANCHESTER, England,
Jan. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Sandhills East has acquired two key brands in Germany's commercial truck and heavy equipment
market: Truck Buy & Sell International and
Transporter. As a global leader in the transportation,
agriculture, construction, heavy machinery, aviation, and
technology industries, Manchester-based Sandhills East connects
buyers and sellers to facilitate equipment transactions all over
the globe. The acquisition extends the reach and effectiveness of
Sandhills' brands to ensure buyers and sellers better access to and
exposure in their markets.
A fortnightly publication, Truck Buy & Sell
International is one of the largest and most prominent
commercial heavy duty vehicle magazines in Europe. Transporter, a monthly
magazine, targets buyers and sellers of lighter-duty vans, trucks,
and other vehicles. After a history spanning more than two decades
as go-to resources for buyers and sellers in the region, the
publications were recently purchased from Germany's DAZ VERLAGSGRUPPE GmbH & Co.
KG.
"Truck Buy & Sell International and
Transporter are well-established and well-known sources for
buying and selling trucks and construction equipment throughout
Europe," explains Sandhills' Chief
Operations Officer Shawn Peed. "The
purchase of these titles furthers our reach into local markets
across the region, and benefits both our customers and end
users."
Content in Truck Buy & Sell International and
Transporter will eventually integrate into the
industry-specific publications provided by Sandhills East and
Sandhills Publishing, the distribution of which exceeds five
million publications every month. The corresponding websites for
both of the recently acquired publications will also integrate into
the network of successful trade websites provided by Sandhills East
and Sandhills Publishing.
As a subsidiary of Sandhills Publishing, Sandhills East builds
on the company's decades-long presence in its core industries.
Sandhills Publishing has nearly 800 employees and is based in
Lincoln, Nebraska. Its first
publication, Machinery Trader, has served the heavy
machinery industry since 1978. The company has since added
publications and websites reaching the trucking (Truck Paper),
aviation (Controller, Executive Controller, and Charter Hub),
technology (Computer Power User and CyberTrend), farm equipment
(TractorHouse), auction (AuctionTime), and equipment rental
(RentalYard) industries, as well as buyers and sellers in
international markets (MarketBook).
Sandhills East was established in 2011, quickly expanding to
include office locations in Manchester and Peterborough, United Kingdom as well as
Madrid, Spain and Senningerberg,
Luxembourg. The company also has
offices in Scottsdale, Arizona and
Brisbane, Australia.
