Within the terms of a new distribution contract, EM.Entertainment GmbH has extended its existing partnership with Comarex S.A. de C.V., a leading global distribution company within the entertainment sector. The relationship, which began in 2001, has been extended until 2011. The agreement encompasses exclusive distribution rights within the TV and home entertainment sectors, as well as non-exclusive rights in merchandising on the Latin American market. In addition, Comarex will distribute Spanish-language versions of EM.Entertainment programs within the USA on a non-exclusive basis. Alongside new productions such as 3D animated action/adventure/comedy Master Raindrop, action/comedy series Staines Down Drains and 3D animated preschool show Zigby, the catalog also includes classics like Maya the Bee, Heidi and Vicky the Viking, plus well-known Astrid Lindgren film adaptations like Pippi Longstocking, Emil from Lonneberga and Carlsson on the Roof. Marcel Vinay, CEO Comarex: „For Comarex, it is an honor to represent EM.Entertainment’s highquality programs in Latin America and the US. Our partnership during the past seven years has been very successful and we are sure that the next three will be even more. In the short term we expect great results with wonderful productions like Master Raindrop and Zigby. The combined distribution and production efforts will bring great benefits to broadcasters and the audience in Latin America and the USA.” Werner E. Klatten, Managing Director of EM.Entertainment: “Since the year 2000, our companies have operated a close-knit partnership, through which we have succeeded in establishing our portfolio in Latin America and among the Latin American population of the USA. Knowing the expertise of Comarex in these important territories, and in the market for children’s and youth entertainment, we are confident that our program brands remain in the best possible hands.” |
