PMMI Buys Summit Media
Publisher-association relationships aren’t foreign to the B2B world, but they rarely go this far.
PMMI​ , a trade group for packaging and processing technologies, has agreed to purchase
Summit Media Group​ , a publisher with five titles in the same space.
Terms weren’t disclosed, though the deal is expected to close next month. Summit staff and
leadership will become employees of the association, with operations remaining headquartered
in Chicago.
The deal immediately gives PMMI, producer of five trade shows, an established year-round,
multi-platform connection to its audience—something the company had been exploring on its
own for the last 18 months, says Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO of PMMI.
“A robust publishing and multimedia presence will be the foundation of our efforts to build a
year-round audience for our tradeshows and other products,” he says.
