OpenGate adds Réponse à Tout! to Fleurus Presse
OpenGate Capital has acquired French consumer publication Réponse à Tout! as a bolt-on to its portfolio company Fleurus Presse.
According to OpenGate, the publication was divested by Groupe Ayache – a French publishing group – as part of an on-going strategic review of the firm's holdings.
OpenGate acquired Fleurus Press from Groupe Le Monde in 2009. This is the second add-on OpenGate has made to the group, following the acquisition of Arts Magazine in December last year.
The GP stated it would add value to Réponse à Tout! through further modernisation of the magazine's layout, enhancement of its online presence, and expansion of its advertiser base.

Launched in 1990, Réponse à Tout! is a monthly consumer magazine offering advice and opinions on lifestyle trends. The Paris-based publication has more than 550,000 paid readers per month; its website attracts another 550,000 unique visitors per month.
