Edel Publishing Group

With locations in Hamburg and Munich, the Edel Publishing Group is one of Germany’s largest independent book suppliers. The group includes the publishing houses ZS, Dr. Oetker Verlag, Edel Sports and KARIBU. In addition to the imprints of Edel Verlagsgruppe, our sales organization Edel Book Sales looks after the book distribution business of Wort & Bild, falkemedia, BUNTE, Distanz Verlag and Junior Medien in both sales and distribution.

Thanks to a wide variety of programs in the guidebook, popular nonfiction and children’s book product groups, the publishers have built up a loyal readership, enormous traction and a broad presence in trade, as well as top positions in the cooking and baking, beverage, health and sports book markets. Strong brands such as Ernährungs-Docs, Dr. Oetker, Leo Lionni and Pettersson & Findus, prominent authors from children’s books (Annette Roeder, Juma Kliebenstein, Marliese Arold), competitive sports (Thomas Müller, Stefan Kretzschmar, Laura Ludwig), culinary arts (Charles Schumann, Hugh Johnson, Jens Priewe, Tarik Rose) and medicine (Gustav Dobos, Dietrich Grönemeyer, Pablo Hagemeyer), as well as well-known TV personas (Elena Uhlig & Fritz Karl, Collien Ulmen-Fernandez, Franziska Rubin) and social media stars (Sophia Thiel, Sarah Harrison, Monica Meier-Ivancan) stand for our high-quality books, which always have their finger on the pulse of the time in terms of content.
