Case Study: Ekspress Grupp streamlines M&A and media diversification with iDeals

Ekspress Grupp diversified its media empire using iDeals to streamline M&A

Ekspress Grupp, the leading media group in the Baltic States, was pursuing a diversification strategy and multiple M&A transactions, including possible acquisitions and the planned sale of its printing house. To manage these deals securely and efficiently, the company needed a virtual data room with granular permissions, controlled bidder communications, and real-time activity tracking. It chose iDeals as its VDR platform.

With iDeals, Ekspress Grupp set up secure data rooms for each project, managed user groups and permissions, received instant email alerts on bidder activity, and benefited from strong support and archiving tools. The platform helped the company streamline its M&A process and support several successful acquisitions, including Biļešu Paradīze, Altero, Linna Ekraanid, and Irytas. According to Ekspress Grupp’s CFO, iDeals was “a crucial step” in growing its digital media business, with key benefits including 2FA security, flexible permission control, and immediate notifications.
