TX Group AG
Investor Relations

In the bustling realm of Swiss media, TX Group AG stands as a formidable force, weaving its narrative through a diverse portfolio of operations. Tracing its roots back to 1893 with the launch of the "Tages-Anzeiger," the company has evolved from a single newspaper to an expansive media conglomerate. TX Group AG has strategically branched into four distinct segments: 20 Minuten, Tamedia, Goldbach, and TX Markets. 20 Minuten dominates the free press segment with its bustling daily newspapers, while Tamedia ensures a robust presence in the paid newspaper and magazine markets. Both segments generate revenue predominantly through advertising, leveraging their substantial reach to attract a range of advertisers eager to capture their broad readership.

Moreover, TX Group AG's diversification into digital marketplaces and marketing services reveals its adaptive prowess in the evolving media landscape. TX Markets, a burgeoning digital marketplace hub, encompasses online platforms like JobCloud and Ricardo, tapping into the lucrative digital classifieds ecosystem. Here, revenue streams flow from subscription fees, service charges, and advertisements. Meanwhile, Goldbach stands as a linchpin in marketing services, catering to broadcast, print, and digital advertising needs. By facilitating connections between advertisers and a wide audience through targeted campaigns, Goldbach has become a vital artery of income. Through these interconnected and strategic business units, TX Group AG not only secures its profitability but also continues to shape the media landscape in Switzerland and beyond.
