Media Localizer Deluxe购买基于云的母版，版本控制平台Sundog
Media production company Deluxe has acquired cloud-based platform developer Sundog Media Toolkit. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The acqui-hire sees the founders of UK-based Sundog, Richard Welsh and Chris Ralph, join Deluxe in senior executive roles, with Welsh becoming SVP for Innovation in January 2021.
Sundog was founded in 2013 in Bristol, England, and has a handful of employees on LinkedIn. Its flagship product is a cloud-based workflow management platform that supports tools for post production. Basically, a SaaS solution for mastering and versioning of TV and movies at scale.
Deluxe boasts sizable localization operations as well as digital cinema, home entertainment, and fulfilment operations. The company was created when century-old media production giant Deluxe Entertainment sold its distribution business in July 2020, less than a year after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The distribution business, now known as Deluxe, was taken over in the sale by California-based private equity firm Platinum Equity, which was previously owned by US billionaire Ron Perelman.
The only Deluxe Entertainment divisions that were not sold were the company’s creative businesses, which include Company 3 and Method Studios.
Deluxe (excl. creative businesses) is now in the hands of Platinum Equity CEO Tom Gores, who immediately reinstated several former Deluxe execs — most notably CEO Cyril Drabinsky, and CFO Mike Gunters — to lead the company.
媒体制作公司Deluxe收购了基于云的平台开发商Sundog媒体工具包。交易条款没有披露。
英国Sundog的创始人理查德•威尔士和克里斯•拉尔夫将在此次收购中加入Deluxe担任高管职务，其中威尔士将于2021年1月成为负责创新的高级副总裁。
Sundog于2013年成立于英国布里斯托尔，在LinkedIn上拥有为数不多的员工。其旗舰产品是基于云的工作流管理平台，支持后期生产的工具。基本上，这是一个SaaS解决方案，用于在规模上掌握和版本控制电视和电影。
Deluxe拥有相当规模的本地化业务以及数字电影，家庭娱乐和实现业务。这家公司是在百年媒体制作巨头豪华娱乐于2020年7月出售其发行业务时创立的，当时距离申请第11章破产还不到一年。
如今被称为豪华的分销业务，在此次出售中被总部位于加州的私人股本公司铂金股权收购，铂金股权此前由美国亿万富翁罗恩•佩雷尔曼所有。
唯一没有出售的豪华娱乐部门是该公司的创意业务，包括公司3和方法工作室。
Deluxe（不包括创意业务）现在由Platinum Equity首席执行官汤姆•戈雷斯掌管，他立即恢复了几位前Deluxe高管的职务--最著名的是首席执行官西里尔•德拉宾斯基和首席财务官迈克•冈特斯--领导公司。
