BridgeTower Media, the parent of business publications such as Furniture Today, the Charleston Regional Business Journal and Finance & Commerce, has acquired a window publication and an event.
Terms for the International Window Coverings Expo and Window Fashion VISION magazine were not disclosed.
Grace McNamara acquired Window Fashion magazine in 1986 from the Industrial Fabrics Association International and later rebranded it as Window Fashion VISION. In 1997 she launched the Expo, which has since grown into a national event welcoming over 8,000 companies to date, including thousands of new attendees annually.
During the pandemic, McNamara’s daughter Ania Munzer stepped in to help manage operations and has continued to expand her leadership role. Munzer will remain in her current role post acquisition.
“We also see tremendous synergy between Grace Media and our coverage of the home furnishings and construction sectors,” said BridgeTower Media CEO Hal Cohen in a statement. “This acquisition will strengthen our tradeshow business and provide new growth opportunities across markets.”
