Grupo Planeta is the unquestioned leader in publishing in Spain and Latin America and the second largest in France, making this publishing group one of the six biggest in the world. It owns more than 100 brands, with authors from all ages and cultures, classical and contemporary, established authors and newcomers, who make up a catalogue to cover the interests of all readers of both printed books and e-books.
The publishers publishing in Spanish and Portuguese as part of Grupo Planeta, those publishing in French as part of Groupe Editis and those publishing in Catalan as part of Grup 62 ensure the projection of the group’s more than 15,000 authors. Grupo Planeta publishes 6,500 new titles and sells approximately 130 million books every year.

For more than 50 years, Grupo Planeta has been in touch with the cultural interests of society, which it has served with carefully produced quality products that are always up to date. The prestige of the major reference works, collections of art, literature, history, nature, science and geography, has been extended to other publishers to reach a more diverse audience, which includes children and young people.
Today, multimedia and online supports and tablet computers complement these publications with audiovisual and interactive tools and contents.

Through the Casa del Libro chain of bookstores, located throughout Spain, and through the casadellibro.com online book store, Grupo Planeta contributes to promoting and disseminating culture and brings authors and publishers to the notice of the public.
In 2010, the Planeta and Bertelsmann groups joined together to give a boost to Círculo de Lectores, the largest reading club in Spain. In 2012, Círculo de Lectores launched Booquo, an innovative project that combines e-books with a virtual community.

Planeta DeAgostini and Altaya are essential references in the world of collectable content aimed at knowledge, hobbies and pastimes for adults, as well as education and entertainment for children. Thanks to agreements with the world’s major providers of content, the catalogue of these brands (which account for 140 collections) is broad and varied.
Kiosks are the primary distribution channel, with more than 100,000 points of sale, although direct sales, especially via the Internet, is on the increase.

Grupo Planeta is one of the largest Spanish communications groups thanks to its position as a major shareholder in press, television, radio, advertising and Internet companies. It publishes the daily newspaper La Razón, the fourth most influential newspaper in Spain, and the magazines Grazia, Interiores, Lonely Planet Traveller, Psychologies, Historia y Vida, Dapper and Playboy.
It also manages ATRESMEDIA, a multimedia group with three leading radio stations – Onda Cero Radio, Europa FM and Onda Melodía – and eight television channels – Antena 3 TV, laSexta, Neox, Nova, Nitro, xplora, laSexta 3 TODOCINE and GOL tv.

The fusion of two major reference communication groups in Europe (DeAgostini and Planeta) in 2000 gave rise to DeAPlaneta, one of the largest audiovisual companies in Spain, which generates and distributes fiction and documentary content, as well as creating, acquiring and distributing films for cinema and video.
Planeta Junior is aimed at entertainment for children and young people by means of content for television, cinema, DVD, VOD, books, licenses, promotions and publications, together with the creation of many entertainment products.

Grupo Planeta has a wide range of specialist educational and training courses from language learning to university studies and MBAs. The range of courses is strongly oriented toward the requirements of the labour market and the flexible methodology with the support of new technologies (e-learning, virtual campuses, video tutorials, blogs, etc.) makes it possible to combine family and career.
In recent years, Grupo Planeta has diversified even more in the range of courses on offer, with an online project providing support to the educational community and the first educational programme to help parents to educate their children.

The Internet is the area of Grupo Planeta where innovation in creation and sale of entertainment and merchandising content and products is seeing the greatest growth.
Through its portals and online communities, the group sells films and material relating to cinema, video games and accessories for consoles, as well as traditional direct-sales products (beauty, decoration, fitness, publishing products, technology, exclusive collectable items, etc.).
