History
editIn 1990, the Swedish media company Modern Times Group acquired the majority shareholding in Svensk Text (SDI Media). The then 'SDI Media' was sold by MTG to Warburg Pincus for US$60 million in 2004. In 2007 it was acquired by Elevation Partners, a private equity firm, mainly investing in media and entertainment companies. In 2008, SDI Media Group acquired Visiontext, a competitor in the subtitling industry, from Ascent Media.[1]
On February 21, 2015, Japanese media parent company Imagica Robot Holdings partnered with Sumitomo Corporation and the Cool Japan Fund to acquire SDI Media.[2]
On January 22, 2021, the localization media company Iyuno Media Group announced they had reached a deal with Imagica Group to acquire 100% of SDI Media.[3]
On April 1, 2021, SDI Media was acquired by Iyuno Media Group, forming the new company, Iyuno-SDI Group. On October 26, 2022, the company was renamed to "Iyuno."[4]
In August 2024, Iyuno experienced a significant security breach by an unidentified individual or organization. The breach resulted in the unauthorized release of several Netflix-related films and series scheduled for release in 2024 and 2025. They were subsequently leaked on various social media platforms, raising concerns over digital security and content protection within the media industry.[5]
