Company History 

 

In 1970 the Swiss businessman Peter Lang founded Peter Lang GmbH in Frankfurt am Main, developing the company into a well-known publisher for research in the Humanities and Social Sciences. His publishing expertise, the result of working with his father, the Bernese publisher and bookseller Herbert Lang, along with his own drive and initiative, led to the rapid growth of the Press. 

International networks and close working relationships with authors stood at the core of the business. Over the years, more offices opened in university centers around the world.
