Neue Medien Ulm Holding, a publishing company controlled by the Ebner family, has signed a deal for the acquisition of SAZ, the leading German sports industry magazine founded by Horst Frankl 41 years ago. The deal is conditional on approval by German anti-trust authorities. Frankl, who is now 75 years old, plans to continue to be involved on a reduced scale. The transaction does not include Sportéco, the French trade publication owned by Frankl, or CMD Sport, the Spanish publication that he owns jointly with Jordi Maré.
