(formerly Distribution Partners SAS) was a video game distribution company that was an amalgamation of several former Atari SA (formerly known as Infogrames Entertainment SA) offices located in PAL territories, which were acquired beginning in 2009 by Bandai Namco Holdings.
On September 9, 2008, Infogrames and Namco Bandai Games Europe announced a new joint-venture known as Distribution Partners.
Along the way, Namco Bandai's parent company acquired a 34% stake in Atari's European and Asian businesses.

This was done out of the parent company's desire in merging its publishing and distribution divisions together to help unify the Namco Bandai brand.
