About Mondo TV Studios
Mondo TV Studios is part of the Mondo TV Group, a leading European company in the production and distribution of audio-visual content. Mondo TV Studios operates in Spain, Italy, Portugal, Latin America and the Spanish-speaking markets of the United States.
As Mondo TV Spain the company’s initial activity involved the distribution in the Iberian and Latin American markets of the animation catalogue of its parent company. In 2016, the company became Mondo TV Iberoamérica SA, and entered a completely new phase. This started with the co-production of youth fiction series with well-known Latin American partners. During the same year we created Mondo TV Producciones Canarias SL, an innovative pre-production studio based in Tenerife that from the beginning has aspired to become a benchmark international hub for the creation, development and production of high-quality fiction and animation projects for the entire Group and for third parties. The studio has increased its production capacity exponentially and since 2020 it also offers CGI (3D) animation services.
In September 2021, the merger of the two companies into a single entity, Mondo TV Studios SA, was formalized. This merger is part of the natural evolution of a business whose aim is to consolidate its position as an international centre for high-quality productions.
Currently, Mondo TV Studios focuses on various lines of business, with a strong emphasis on providing 2D and 3D animation services to third parties as well as on international co-productions. Mondo TV Studios’ animation services range from animation for children and fiction for adolescents, families and adults, to forays into new segments such as video games. Mondo TV Studios is a company that has been listed on the BME Growth Market since 2016 under the ticker MONI. For more information:
