Information services company Royal Swets & Zeitlinger, Netherlands, has completed the acquisition of Jongbloed, an expert in the supply of legal, fiscal and accountancy content. The arrangement will see Swets take control of the entire Jongbloed company, including both of its physical bookstores in The Hague and Leiden as well as its online stores www.jongbloed.nl and www.jongbloedjuridica.nl. Jongbloed will remain an independent entity under Swets' umbrella.
Jongbloed have firmly established themselves as the preferred supplier of legal content in the Netherlands. Their reputation has been built around exceptional customer service and constant endeavours to innovate and make the acquisition of content more convenient for its customers. Swets mirrors that philosophy and acts as the global leader in managing Scientific, Technical and Medical information. It is expected that combining Jongbloed's experience and expert knowledge of the legal and book markets with the global infrastructure and knowledge of the Swets group, will create a platform for growth that aims to strengthen Jongbloed's position at the forefront of the legal market with a broader service offer and expand its overall reach.
Bringing Jongbloed under the wing of Swets will help to broaden the scope of its services to customers dramatically. Swets is keen to empower and build upon the rewarding work that Jongbloed is renowned for and secure a rewarding and prosperous future for the company.
