Much of that growth was overseen by long termCEOUwe Swientek, who was at the company's helm for almost 30 years. Sonopress has factories and sales offices on all five continents, and predominantly serves customers in themusic,software,andvideo game industry.
It was one of the four major units of Arvato AG, themediaandcommunicationsservices company that in turn is one of the six divisions ofBertelsmann.Accordingly, Sonopress was occasionally referred to as Arvato Storage Media.
