Edipresse is a multilingual and multicultural international Publishing house. It operates in the areas of newspaper and magazine publishing, printing and multimedia. The Edipresse Group is active in Switzerland, where the company is registered, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Greece and several countries in Asia. It publishes over 150 titles and has more than 3,500 employees, of whom about 1,700 are based in Switzerland. It strives to ensure that its expansion takes place in a controlled and coherent fashion. Its strategy is fundamentally based on the written word and on three simple principles.

The first of these is to concentrate resources, both human and financial, on the activities and the countries where the company can achieve significant market share.

The second principle expresses the corporate desire to publish quality titles, which clearly meet the needs of both readers and advertisers.

The third principle concerns the special responsibilities involved in the publishing profession.
