Platinum Equity has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Anuvu, a provider of media and connectivity solutions serving mobility markets including aviation, maritime, and government sectors.
Headquartered in Lombard, Illinois, Anuvu delivers technology and content services to over 150 airlines and 30 cruise line operators globally.
The business operates through two core segments: Media & Content and Connectivity. Its Media division manages a catalogue exceeding 400,000 titles, offering licensing, localisation, and distribution of entertainment content for aviation, maritime, and non-theatrical markets. The Connectivity division provides broadband satellite internet, telecommunications hardware, passenger experience platforms, and data analytics to commercial airline clients.
Joshua Marks, who has served as CEO since 2015 and led the company through its pandemic-era restructuring and subsequent transformation, will continue to lead the business under Platinum Equity’s ownership.
The transaction underscores Platinum Equity’s ongoing focus on the media and technology sectors. Its portfolio includes Deluxe, a global provider of post-production and content distribution services for the entertainment industry.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The deal is expected to close in Q4 2025, subject to customary regulatory approvals.
Drake Star is acting as exclusive financial advisor to Anuvu on the transaction.
