Acquisition strengthens Woodcote Media’s coverage of the bulk processing, handling and energy sectors

Woodcote Media has announced the acquisition of EuroBulkSystems, the leading European publication dedicated to bulk solids handling, processing, and logistics, from Oakhill Media.

The acquisition further strengthens Woodcote Media’s specialist B2B media portfolio and complements its existing titles, Bulk Distributor and Bioenergy Insight. Together, these publications provide comprehensive coverage across bulk processing, materials handling, logistics, packaging, and bioenergy markets, offering enhanced value to readers, advertisers, and industry partners.

Launched in 2008, EuroBulkSystems is internationally recognised as a trusted information source for professionals involved in bulk processing, conveying, storage, and handling across industries including chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, construction materials, and energy. The title is well known for its strong technical editorial and targeted distribution at key European exhibitions and conferences.

Woodcote Media plans to invest in the continued development of EuroBulkSystems, building on its established editorial foundations while expanding its digital presence, international reach, and integration within Woodcote Media’s wider portfolio, which also includes Bioenergy Insight, a leading global publication covering bulk storage, pelleting, and other bioenergy related sectors.

Commenting on the acquisition, Peter Patterson, Managing Director at Woodcote Media, said:
“EuroBulkSystems is a highly respected publication and a natural fit within our portfolio. It complements Bulk Distributor extremely well and sits alongside Bioenergy Insight to give us broader coverage of the industries we serve. This acquisition allows us to better support the bulk processing and handling sectors while continuing to deliver strong value for readers and advertisers.”

Patrick Hicks, Managing Director at Oakhill Media, added:
“EuroBulkSystems has been an important part of our portfolio, and we are pleased to see it move to Woodcote Media, who are well positioned to continue developing the title and supporting the industry.”

Woodcote Media will work closely with advertisers, contributors, and partners to ensure a smooth transition, with further announcements regarding editorial plans, distribution, and upcoming issues of EuroBulkSystems to follow.
