Danske Bank and A.P. Møller Mærsk. This takeover saved the group from bankruptcy, a crisis situation worsened by a long strike period as well as dwindling circulation and advertising revenues.In 2000,
Det Berlingske Officin was acquired by the Norwegian industrial conglomerateOrkla Group ; and the Danish organization was integrated within a mulit-national Orkla Media group. In 2006 Berlingske Tidende, along with the rest ofBerlingske Officin and Orkla Media, was sold to the BritishMecom Group .
