Ateliere Creative Technologies has offered to acquire Codemill, a Swedish-based provider of media workflow software solutions in a deal worth more than SEK 313 million ($29 million).
In a statement announcing the offer, Ateliere said the combination of the two companies will represent “a pivotal response to industry disruption”, creating a “comprehensive, next generation, end-to-end media technology platform” that would encompass the entire content workflow, including global distribution through AI-powered cloud automation.
“The integration of Ateliere’s cloud-native content supply chain solutions with Accurate.Video product suite, Accurate Player SDK, Cantemo MAM, and [Codemill’s] bespoke Digital Services delivers immediate value through complementary technologies,” added the statement.
“Together, these companies will establish the industry’s first truly end-to-end automated system capable of managing content operations from production and localisation to distribution and consumption at an unprecedented scale.”
Ateliere said the acquisition will not impact Codemill’s staff “with no planned workforce reductions”. Cost efficiencies will primarily result from streamlining overlapping procedures, it added.
Speaking about the proposed deal, Dan Goman, CEO of Ateliere, said: “As media convergence reshapes our industry, seamless media management is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. The Ateliere-CodeMill combination brings us closer to realising our vision of powering the entire content workflow, from concept to consumer.
“This integration delivers exactly what the market demands: accelerated time-to-market, reduced operational costs, and a truly unified media supply chain. By merging our strengths, we’re not just improving workflows—we’re redefining how broadcasters, streaming services, and global media enterprises create, manage, and monetise content in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.”
In its own statement, Codemill said its independent bid committee of the company’s board of directors has unanimously decided to recommend shareholders accept the offer.
