End 2020 the shareholder and founder of Atlantis Press, Zeger Karssen, turned to Park 56, to help him investigate the strategic options for his business, given our strong network and financial expertise. After a competitive process we sold the business early 2021 to Springer Nature, the largest STM open access publisher and largest STM books publisher in the world. With the acquisition of Atlantis Press, Springer Nature strengthened its position as the leading conference proceedings publisher and its leadership position in open access publishing in general.
