Founded in 1893 as the “Hannoverscher Anzeiger A. Madsack & Co.”, the publishing house has steadily evolved into today’s national media group with approximately 4,000 employees and revenue of 669.4 million euros. The group is successfully active in the digital sector as well as in film and television production. The postal service providers reliably transport letters and packages from businesses, institutions, and private customers. In addition, the full-service agencies and corporate publishing service providers offer customized communication solutions for the B2C and B2B sectors.
Heise Medien is committed to high-quality, independent journalism. Its portfolio includes two successful computer magazines, c't and iX; the forward-looking technology magazine Technology Review; and the multi-award-winning online magazine Telepolis. The website for IT enthusiasts, heise online, is one of the most-visited German special-interest sites. Through conferences, seminars, and workshops, heise Events caters to a sophisticated IT audience.
Until April 2015, Heise Medien operated under the name Heise Zeitschriften Verlag. Due to the ongoing expansion of the product and service offerings in this business segment, particularly in the area of digital products, the company decided to change its name.
