Wednesday 2 September 2009: Angel Business Communications Limited
(Coventry/Watford, UK) has acquired Compound Semiconductor magazine
and its associated website compoundsemiconductor.net from IOP
Publishing (Bristol, UK). Financial details of the transaction were
not disclosed.
"The deal is a win-win for Compound Semiconductor readers and
advertisers, as well as for Angel and ourselves," explained Michael
Bray, finance director at IOP Publishing. "With a new publisher,
Compound Semiconductor will continue to be the primary information
resource for professionals working with compound-semiconductor
materials and devices."
Stephen Whitehurst, commercial director at Angel Business
Communications, added: "Compound Semiconductor is a market-leading
publication that's widely respected for its must-read editorial
content and targeted readership. We're certain that the magazine
and the website will prove to be compelling additions to Angel's
existing B2B portfolio of semiconductor magazines, websites and
live events."
Angel Business Communications anticipates no interruption in the
print schedule of Compound Semiconductor magazine, with all of the
remaining 2009 issues and the associated advertising schedules
going ahead as planned.
"After a brief hiatus, we also expect the daily news service on
compoundsemiconductor.net to be up and running again before the end
of Q3," said Whitehurst.

coverage in the magazine or online should contact Stephen
Whitehurst directly. Tel: +44 (0)2476 718970. E-mail:
