WTWH Media Acquires Robotics Division from EH Media

Acquisition of Robotics Business Review, the RoboBusiness Conference & Exposition, and other robotics media assets becomes a catalyst for continued rapid company growth and provides deeper support for the global robotics value chain.

Business-to-business publisher WTWH Media today announced the acquisition of the robotics division of EH Media. The acquired assets, which include Robotics Business Review, a world class website focused on the global robotics and intelligent systems sector, and the RoboBusiness Conference and Exposition, a leading annual robotics business-to-business conference which first ran in 2004, will become incorporated into WTWH Media's network of robotics websites, magazines, newsletters, events, and research.


According to Dan Kara, Vice President, Robotics at WTWH Media, "We are delighted to announce the acquisition of EH Media's robotics division. Both RoboBusiness and Robotics Business Review are globally recognized, highly respected robotics media brands of long standing, and the acquisition itself could not have come at a better time. The robotics sector has been expanding at a rapid rate for more than a decade, but as the recent upsurge in robotics investments and company launches clearly indicate, we are truly at a major inflection point at this time. With the addition of RoboBusiness and Robotics Business Review, WTWH Media becomes a global robotics media powerhouse."

Scott McCafferty, Co-founder & Managing Director of WTWH Media, notes, "The addition of the RoboBusiness Conference & Exposition and Robotics Business Review will strengthen WTWH Media's robotics portfolio tremendously, allowing us to better serve the entire robotics value chain of end-users, engineers and OEMs, researchers, investors and more. Dan Kara launched RoboBusiness and Robotics Business Review, and as such he is perfectly positioned to reinvigorate them, as well as integrate these high value assets into WTWH Media's existing robotics and intelligent systems business lines."

Kenneth Moyes, President, EH Media, added, "EH Media has been serving the robotics industry for over 10 years. Through our RoboBusiness Conference and Expo and our Robotics Business Review media offerings, we have provided essential information and services to the global robotics sector. I am pleased that under the new ownership of WTWH Media these brands will continue to support the burgeoning robotics market."
