Iyuno Media Group today announced it has completed its acquisition of SDI Media. The combined company will work under the Iyuno-SDI Group brand.

“The accelerating changes in the world are creating the need for more content that reaches audiences in every corner of the world,” explains David Lee, CEO, Iyuno-SDI Group. “We know that we must accelerate our technical innovation through advances in AI, workflow automation, machine translation and global technology infrastructures. In addition to these technological advancements, we have an equal priority to advance the artistic process, which then brings together the perfect combination of both disciplines to advance the state of the art of localization.”

“We’re delighted to be joining Iyuno. This combination gives us the necessary scale to meet increasingly challenging customer demands,” Mark Howorth, former SDI Media CEO, now president of Iyuno-SDI Group, comments. “Our customers require rapid turn arounds, cutting edge technology and a global footprint. The combined resources of Iyuno-SDI give us the ability to deliver end-to-end solutions and maintain the highest level of content security.”

Iyuno is backed by Altor, Shamrock Capital and SoftBank Ventures Asia, its primary financial partners.
