Vend Marketplaces ASA (formerly Schibsted ASA) is an operator of marketplaces in Northern Europe. The company has its headquarters in Oslo, Norway, and is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The CEO is Christian Printzell Halvorsen.
In 2019, Schibsted spun off their online marketplaces outside northern Europe into a new company called Adevinta. Brands such as Kleinanzeigen, Leboncoin.fr and Shpock were included, and stakes in similar websites across Europe were also transferred. As of December 2022 Schibsted continues to hold a 22.8% stake in the company.
In 2024, Schibsted sold its media operations to The Tinius Trust through Blommenholm Industrier transforming Schibsted into two more focused companies: a media company, known as Schibsted Media, fully owned by the Trust and a publicly listed marketplaces company, originally known as Schibsted Marketplaces (becoming the original company's legal successor) until a new name has been announced. The CEO for Schibsted Media is Siv Juvik Tveitnes.
In 2025, Schibsted Marketplaces announced it would its name to Vend Marketplaces, taking effect during Q2 2025.
On 25 February 2025, Schibsted Media announced it aimed to buy TV4 Media for 6.55 billion SEK. The acquisition was completed on July 1, 2025.
