IG Port, Inc. (株式会社IGポート) is a Japanese holding company that was established on December 1, 2007, as a result of a merger between the Japanese anime studio Production I.G and manga publisher Mag Garden.
History
The merger between Production I.G and Mag Garden was announced on July 4, 2007.[3] Production I.G was transformed into a holding company a month ahead of the scheduled merger on December 1, 2007.[4] Along with a name change, it transferred most of its former duties and management to a newly developed subsidiary also named "Production I.G". After the merger with Mag Garden by the stock exchange, IG Port now fully owned the "new" Production I.G, Mag Garden, and Xebec as its subsidiaries.[5]
