M&A Update: Wainscot Acquires Two B2B Mags from Scranton Gillette

New Jersey-based Wainscot Media announced this week that it has acquired a pair of B2B healthcare industry magazines from Scranton Gillette Communications for an undisclosed sum.

In addition to its various regional healthy living titles, Wainscot counts several major New Jersey hospitals as custom publishing clients. "The deal is a natural outgrowth of our medical publishing heritage,"... Continue reading at 'Folio Magazine'
