Edita SA and Saint-Paul Luxembourg each have a 50% stake in Carrousel. Its forthcoming website will focus on mobility, but not just automobiles, said Edita SA’s Emmanuel Fleig.

Edita SA and Saint-Paul Luxembourg said they started Carrousel to produce content and services in the automotive and transport spaces.

“We have always been very interested in the automotive world, we devote a column to it every Friday in L’Essentiel,” Emmanuel Fleig, director of Edita SA, told Paperjam on Tuesday. “Our goal is to expand our presence in the sector with an information and services site dedicated to automobile and mobility in every sense.”

Carrousel will start publishing the website in May. Initially it will produce content in French and German, but it will add English and Portuguese in the future, Fleig said.

Saint-Paul publishes the Luxembourger Wort, Télécran and Contacto, among other publications. It is owned by Mediahuis, an Antwerp-based outfit that runs several major newspapers in Belgium, Ireland and the Netherlands.

Edita SA publishes the free daily newspaper L’essentiel and has a stake in L’essentiel Radio. It is a joint venture between Editpress, which publishes the Tageblatt and Le Quotidien, and Tamedia, a Swiss media group.

Saint-Paul and Editpress already cooperate with a joint venture called LuxMediaHouse, which sells advertising space for titles across both media groups in Belgium and the Netherlands.
