The Argentine company Navent Group Ltd. signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the assets of the digital classified portals Urbania and Aptitus, of the publishing company El Comercio S.A. (El Comercio Group), from Peru. This transaction will take place in the coming weeks and will not include those classified in the print media of El Comercio Group.

The Urbania and Aptitus portals had a sustained growth during the last years in the digital sector. In the case of Urbania, the El Comercio Group also managed to consolidate it in Peru as an absolute leader in its category, also standing out for the ExpoUrbania Real Estate Fair organization.

Navent owns the Adondevivir and Bumeran brands in Peru and is the leading online classifieds company for properties and jobs in Latin America, with a presence in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela. The company's goal is to help people achieve two important desires: find a job and a home.

"What has been achieved in these years with classified portals is an example of the ability of El Comercio Group to create brands and new digital businesses, driven through the multiplatforms of its media," said the General Manager of Business Unit Digital, Mariano Nejamkis. He added: "The group will continue to focus on the development of new products and services in the digital field."

The CEO of Navent Group Ltd., Nicolás Tejerina, added: "This operation represents one of the most important in the company's history and reflects Navent's sustained growth and leadership in the region." Then, he added: "Born as a technology company, Navent permanently seeks to improve its service to users and advertisers and through this acquisition we continue to bet on the development of these categories in Peru."
