I don’t have live access to the latest feeds in this moment, but I can share what’s typically known about Meteomedia AG and how recent developments have unfolded.
Direct answer
- Meteomedia AG as a standalone brand largely disappeared from the market after being acquired and folded into MeteoGroup in the early 2010s. The Meteomedia name has since been superseded by MeteoGroup branding, and MeteoGroup itself was later integrated into DTN (a US company) in 2019. For current operations or corporate status under Meteomedia specifically, there is no active independent Meteomedia AG entity commonly referenced as of the latest industry summaries.
Context and background
- Founding and early operations: Meteomedia was established by meteorologist Jörg Kachelmann and operated a network of weather stations and meteorological services. This historical context is documented in multiple sources, including encyclopedic and regional summaries [source coverage indicates Meteomedia’s role and branding prior to 2013].[1][7]
- Acquisition and branding transition: In 2013, Meteomedia was acquired by MeteoGroup, and from March 2014 Meteomedia products and branding were consolidated under MeteoGroup’s umbrella, effectively ending the Meteomedia brand as a standalone entity.[5][8][1]
- further corporate changes: MeteoGroup itself was later integrated into DTN, the weather services company owned by DTN Global (parent company changes reported in trade coverage).[9][1]
- Related regional notes: In several Swiss and German references, Meteomedia appears in historical contexts and in discussions of the MeteoGroup era; contemporary listings usually frame Meteomedia as part of MeteoGroup’s history rather than as an independent current entity.[4][5]
Potential avenues to verify current status
- Corporate registries in Switzerland and Germany might show historical parent-subsidiary relationships but may not list Meteomedia AG as an active operating entity today.
- News archives from 2013–2019 document the sale to MeteoGroup and the subsequent DTN integration; after those events, Meteomedia-branded activities are typically described as part of the MeteoGroup/DTN lineage rather than a distinct, ongoing Meteomedia company.[3][8][1]
- Specialty meteorology industry outlets and Wikipedia entries provide consolidated histories of brand transitions and acquisitions; for the latest corporate form, those pages are useful touchpoints.[7][1][9]
Example to illustrate the lineage
- A simple chronology: Meteomedia (J. Kachelmann) → acquired by MeteoGroup in 2013 → rebranded under MeteoGroup in 2014 → MeteoGroup acquired by DTN (2019) → Meteomedia brand largely retired, with MeteoGroup/DTN branding dominating the legacy services.[8][1][5][9]
Would you like me to pull current public filings or the most recent press releases to confirm whether any vestigial Meteomedia entities or trademarks persist today, or to map the exact ownership chain with dates? If you want, I can also summarize the major branding changes in a small timeline. Citations can be provided for each point.
