Overview
Edipresse Group traces back to a Lausanne publishing company founded in 1907; the Lamunière family took joint control in 1937 and majority control in 1982. After its Swiss media activities were merged into Tamedia (completed 2012) and it left the Swiss stock exchange in 2011, the group describes itself as a purely family office owned by the Lamunière family. Its activities are media (Edipresse Media Asia, the GMT Publishing joint venture), digital ventures such as stakes in Kapaw and QoQa, and a real-estate portfolio mainly in French-speaking Switzerland.
