Voyager Company

Voyager Company

The Voyager Company was a pioneer in CD-ROM production in the 1980s and early 1990s, and published The Criterion Collection, a pioneering home video collection of classic and important contemporary films on Laserdisc. It was founded in 1985 by four partners, Jon Turell, Bill Becker, Aleen Stein and Robert Stein. In 1994 the partnership was diluted by selling 20% of it to the von Holzbrinck Group, a German holding company. In 1997 the von Holzbrinck Group withdrew with its 20%, the name of "Voyager" and half the CD-ROM rights. Robert Stein took half the other CD-ROM rights, and the Toolkit rights. This left the Criterion Collection and three of the original partners: Aleen Stein (1/3), the Becker family (1/3), and the Turell family (1/3). See The Criterion Collection for further information.
