International Transport Journal under new ownership
On 1 November 2024 the MedTrix Group transferred the ownership of the International Transport Journal (ITJ) and the associated titles ITJ Daily, Swisstrans, Worldtrans and the Swiss Shipping Guide, including all of the rights and obligations involved therein, to the Logismedia Group. The MedTrix and the Logismedia groups are both headquartered in Basel.
Andreas Müller, the managing director of the Logismedia Group, underlined the fact that “the group of titles around the ITJ fits very well into our existing portfolio, which consists of Loginfo24, PHARMALOGISTICS Magazin, transport.ch Magazin (new: Swisstrans Magazin) and BdKEP Magazin. The International Transport Journal, which celebrated its 85th anniversary this year, will be the flagship publication of our new group.”
To ensure a smooth transition, MedTrix will support Logismedia on the technical side in the first few months. Andreas Haug, who has already worked for the ITJ for more than 20 years, will remain editor-in-chief of the International Transport Journal and its associated titles, thus ensuring editorial continuity.
