Action Press, one of Germany's leading press photo agencies based in Hamburg since 1970, is again independent and privately owned. Ulli Michel, longtime managing director, used the management buy-out option and bought action press out of the
SilverHub UK bankruptcy estate.
Thus, Michel is now the sole shareholder of the successful picture agency and will steer the course of the company with his team in Hamburg. The core competences in the fields of entertainment, royals and news are constantly being expanded and supplemented with relevant partnerships as well as with international photographers from abroad.
