News UK extends logistics service to other media outlets
News UK launches Newssolutions offering a production and distribution service.
In a market where print sales for some have fallen between five and 12 per cent and consumers are taking advantage of the choice delivered in the digital era, a sustainable future can be secured by maximising economies of scale.
With today’s announcement Newssolutions becomes the parent holding company for News UK’s Newsprinters and Newslogistics businesses. Newsprinters is the largest printer of newspapers in the UK printing 40m newspapers a week of which 16m are for third parties. Newslogistics, which runs all of the company’s distribution services, is already established within and around the M25.
Newssolutions has expertise and services that can help independent publishers looking for support with multiple retail representation, regional titles looking for services in driving acquisition, and national titles developing home news delivery.
