Acquisition of Hanze Media Groep by Liplyn IG

Hanze Media Groep and Drimble announced today that they have reached an agreement on the acquisition of the job boards Vacant.nl, Bouwvacatures.nl, and Techniekvacaturebank.nl by Liplyn IG. This merger of two media companies creates a strong and complementary portfolio of news websites and job marketplaces.

Hanze Media Groep, based in Groningen, is a digital media company that operates several successful platforms, including news websites and niche job boards. The job boards Vacant.nl, Bouwvacatures.nl, and Techniekvacaturebank.nl serve job seekers and employers in the general labor market, construction sector, and technical sector respectively.

Strategic Synergy

The acquisition fits within Liplyn IG's strategy to strengthen its position in the Dutch digital media market. By combining Hanze Media Groep's job boards with Liplyn IG's existing platforms, a more powerful offering is created for both job seekers and employers.

"This acquisition is a great step for both companies. Hanze Media Groep's job boards fit perfectly within our portfolio. We look forward to further developing and growing these platforms within the Liplyn IG ecosystem."

— Luke Liplijn, CEO of Liplyn IG

Integration with Drimble.nl

To offer broader reach for job seekers and employers, Liplyn IG has already started integrating Drimble.nl. This platform reaches approximately 3 million Dutch users annually. Drimble.nl's existing job section is being expanded with the vacancies from Hanze Media Groep. This provides a direct benefit for employers, boosting the visibility and traffic to job listings.
