Houlihan Lokey Advises Iyuno

Houlihan Lokey is pleased to announce that the Iyuno Media Group (Iyuno) has completed its acquisition of SDI Media.

Iyuno is the media and entertainment industry's leading localization service provider.

This transaction brings together two of the industry's leading companies in localization, with the shared mission of supporting its customers in their efforts to reach global audiences.

The combined company, now under the Iyuno-SDI Group brand, has provided localization and entertainment technology solutions to the media industry for more than a collective 70 years. Leveraging the best-in-breed creative and technical talent, state-of-the-art facilities, and next-generation technologies, the company now boasts the largest global footprint with 67 offices in 34 countries.
