In 1833 Johann Rudolf Ringier, son of a parish priest, founded a book printers in Zofingen and began with the printing of official regulations, statutes and the «Roggwiler Chronik». Soon a national newspaper publisher was to develop from the local graphic craft enterprise, and the Swiss Publishing House for printed products went on to become provider of multi-media platforms. Ringier has acknowledged technological and social changes in timely fashion since a good 175 years – and with foresight always taken a step ahead.

Today Ringier is an active multi-national media enterprise with around 7000 Employees in Asia, Eastern Europe, Germany and Switzerland – and an enterprise that publishes over 120 newspapers and magazines, produces around 20 TV programmes and operates 50 websites as well as 12 printing houses. Ringier is a family enterprise and led by the fifth generation.

In its home-market of Switzerland, Ringier is the largest media enterprise and successfully manages all dynamic growth markets. Ringier occupies prime positions in essential traditional media as well as in the printing, electronic, boulevard and entertainment sectors.
