Thunderful’s restructuring continues because the group divests all of its distribution companies to turn into a „pure-play video games firm,“ with a newly-incorporated iteration of Bergsala choosing up the affected subsidiaries.
Bergsala NDP AB has acquired Amo Toys, Bergsala Aktiebolag, Thunderful 1 and Thunderful Options from the group. The deal was introduced to shareholders and traders on Might 21, and has been accomplished at the moment.
This model of Bergsala is owned by Owe Bergsten, Thunderful’s largest shareholder and board member.
It means the remaining Thunderful firm is comprised solely of video games companies, together with builders Coatsink, Jumpship, and SteamWorld creator Picture & Kind, in addition to writer Rising Star Video games, and funding agency Robotic Teddy.
The divestment follows Thunderful’s announcement in January that it will be restructuring the company, including cutting 20% of its workforce. It has already sold German developer and publisher Headup for €500,000, in addition to Nordic Game Supply, which was one other of its distribution companies.
The Thunderful Group was shaped in December 2019 by merging Thunderful with Bergsala. The latter is greatest often known as Nintendo’s unique distributor for the Nordic and Baltic areas – a deal that has been extended to March 31, 2026.
Weaker gross sales of Change {hardware} because the console nears the tip of its lifecycle had been cited as a key factor in Thunderful Group’s full-year lack of SEK 609.4 million ($57 million). Nevertheless, previous to this, Bergsala’s Nintendo revenues had been a serious contributor to the group’s success.
