With this expansion, we aim to deliver even more pertinent news, insights, and professional development resources to our audience, while also offering enhanced branding and demand generation opportunities for our marketing partners.”

Patrick Lynch, CEO of CFE Media, shared a positive outlook on the partnership: “Joining forces with WTWH Media aligns with our strategic vision to create a leading data-driven, technology-enabled B2B media platform. We’re eager to contribute to the growth of new initiatives such as Packaging OEM, Automated Warehouse, the Digital Transformation Forum event, and WTWH’s Branded Content Studio.”

CFE Media’s co-founders, Jim Langhenry and Steve Rourke, reflected on the company’s journey since its inception in 2010, highlighting the growth of their brands into leading names within their respective sectors. They voiced excitement about becoming part of the WTWH family, which resonates with their foundational values and objectives.

This acquisition marks WTWH Media’s fifth strategic venture since its partnership with Mountaingate Capital, a growth-oriented investment firm based in Colorado, initiated in December 2022.
