On September 1, 2000 the publications Europa Star, International Jeweler, Eurotec and the Bulletin d'Informations became part of VNU, N.V, when this group purchased Miller Freeman from its parent company, the United News & Media group.
Headquartered in the Netherlands, VNU is one of the world's leading media and information companies. It employs more than 16,000 people around the world and has annual revenues of over
2.8 billion Euros. VNU has a major position in the global market in publications dealing with business-to-business, consumer information, educational information, e-media applications, marketing information and directories. VNU also organises more than 100 professional and trade shows per year. It includes such companies as Nielsen Media Research, Claritas, VNU Marketing Information and Bill Communications.
Our international watch, jewellery and technical magazines are under the auspices of Bill Communications. Our sister publications and trade show event organisers National Jeweler, American Time, the JA Fair in New York and the Couture Show and Conferences also join us under the umbrella of Bill Communications.
Our publications, in continuous expansion, find in VNU a new partner and a parent group that is totally dedicated to the development of its positions in the traditional press, e-media and international events, with a high level of professionalism and leadership for each of its product categories.
We enthusiastically salute this new phase for our international publications and we invite you to discover more about our sphere of global activities by visiting the websites www.vnu.com,; www.billcom.com,; and www.europastar.com. Below, you will find the names and contact numbers for our editors and managers of Europa Star, International Jeweler, Eurotec and the Bulletin d'Informations.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your continuing support of our magazines. This has allowed us to systematically develop our products to meet your needs and the needs of the international watch, jewellery and technical industries worldwide.
