In 1991, Egmont purchased the Fleetway arm of IPC Media in the UK from Robert Maxwell , and thus became Britain's largest comic book publisher. The resultant company, Fleetway Editions, was absorbed into the main Egmont brand by 2000, having largely divested itself of its original portfolio (such as 2000AD ) and continued with only reprint and licensed material titles (e.g. '' Sonic The Comic ''). Today, Egmont produces weeklies, Magazine s, comics, Book s, Film , TV-programmes , textbooks, Game s, content for mobile services, music and electronic entertainment. Egmont has activities in 23 countries, and around 3,800 employees. Total revenues in 2005 was 1.17 billion Euro , in 2006 was 1.236 billion Euro . As a foundation profits are reinvested and donated to various social and cultural causes. EXTERNAL LINK |
