The company was also the publisher of German Publisher dtp, in Scandinavia, UK and North America. In 2008 the company was acquired by the Canadian publicly traded company SilverBirch Inc., in a cash transaction on 31 July 2008. SilverBirch was unable to survive the Credit Crisis of 2008 and was eventually forced into bankruptcy. As a fully owned Subsidiary, Lighthouse Interactive was also closed.
