Oliver Spring, Group CEO of ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS: "I am delighted to welcome the newsWorks team to the ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS family. We already know newsWorks. Their software module for the digital cutting of print articles (Cut&Paste) has been successfully used in the Swiss production line for many years and the cooperation has always been very professional. In the course of the digital transformation of the classic media monitoring and media mirror in Germany, we will jointly develop a new, completely digital print production line including the media mirror. We will combine the expertise from both worlds to develop a stable and high-performance print media production line for the ARGUS Group."

Gerald Schreiber, CEO of newsWorks: "The new partnership will result in considerable advantages for us. On the one hand, we benefit from the great knowledge of our buyer, on the other hand, we find even better framework conditions for our future development at ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS. I am looking forward to the cooperation."
