“This agreement is an excellent move forward for Imaging Network customers,” said Marc Spring, president and co-founder of Imaging Network. “While my partner and wife Barbara Bertani Spring and I weren’t actively looking for a buyer, Questex was interested and expressed to us a vision and strategy for the market that was completely consistent with ours, providing us the opportunity to continue to offer complete business information solutions for providers and users in the business and document solutions, office products, and design arena with access to customers and resources through their related businesses.  We are very excited about leveraging the strengths and resources of Questex Media and InfoTrends’ research and data for all our customers,” added Spring.
