Schibsted acquires Nouvago Capital's portfolio company Anumex, Mexican online classifieds.

Schibsted Media Group has acquired the Mexican online classifieds site Anumex. Schibsted's fully owned existing online classifieds site Segundamano.mx is the largest online classifieds site in Mexico in terms of traffic, content and brand recognition. Anumex contributes to strengthen this position.

Anumex is leading in 4 of the 31 Mexican federal states. The site was launched in 2004, and has up until Schibsted's acquisition been owned by the founders and Nouvago Capital, financial investor. Segundamano.mx was launched by Schibsted in July 2012 and has experienced solid growth since.

- We chose to participate in the consolidation that took place in Mexico, in which five sites became three during the last 6 months. Anumex had a unique position in four states, which made us an attractive target. We are very pleased that Schibsted/Segundamano has acquired Anumex, this combination makes the company the largest player in Classified in Mexico, says Frank Bonn, CEO of Nouvago Capital.
