From technical basics to current technologies and concrete tools, it offers professionals know-how and inspiration for successful projects. It supports business decision-makers in evaluating industrial trends and in selecting and implementing suitable products and processes. As a knowledge and communication partner to industry, we focus on the usefulness and topicality of our media: all information is clearly understandable and application-oriented.

"The Vogel book program offers multimedia, well-structured specialist knowledge – always practical and solution-oriented"
Expertise in the book business
A large distribution network is a prerequisite for the successful dissemination of your publication. With more than 85 years of experience in the trade book business, we have an excellent network and access to the trade. Your publication will be distributed through the distribution channels of intermediary bookstores, retail bookstores, Internet retailers, online, university and corporate libraries, as well as the Vogel Fachbuch Shop and our own seminars and congresses. Each title receives its own product page with customizable information and look-inside functionality in our online store and at most retailers.
Cross-media marketing via Vogel specialist media
A good marketing strategy includes cross-media marketing measures so that your publication can be found at many touchpoints. With our trade media firmly established in the market in key business sectors, we give you excellent access to your target groups - cross-media via portals, magazines, in-house trade shows, congresses and seminars. On our more than 30 trade portals, your content can also be targeted according to the interests of the readers (related content). We are particularly active in the mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronics, process engineering, automation and automotive sectors.
Perfect networking
As a respected trade book publisher, we maintain intensive contacts with representatives from industry, research, teaching, associations, and education and training.
Professional project management
Our colleagues from the in-house editorial, marketing and production departments will accompany you throughout the entire publication process. We are also happy to support you as an editor in finding co-authors for your team of authors. We are there for you in all phases of your book project – even after publication.
High quality and fast production
Our production team is characterized by a very high level of quality awareness, reliability and adherence to deadlines. Your book appears in high-quality print and as an e-book. Depending on the production process, it takes 1.5 to 6 months until you hold your book in your hand.
Digital formats
Your publication will appear as an e-book in PDF format. A watermark (Digital Rights Management) protects the e-book file against unlawful use. The book-accompanying, free online service InfoClick offers you as an author the possibility to expand your book with online content.
Author discount and fee
The above-mentioned marketing of your book via our wide-reaching media also includes marketing of you as an expert in your target industry or specialist community. At the same time, the book can also be used as professional seminar material, for example, and supports you in customer retention and acquisition. We are happy to promote these measures with free author copies and a favorable author discount. Of course, you also receive a sales-related author fee and are entitled to remuneration payments from VG Wort.
