Our businesses

As the home of successful publishing houses, a digital subscription platform for audiobooks and e-books, and a well-established bookshop chain in Finland, Bonnier Books is a leading player in the Northern European book market.

The book business is, in many ways, hyperlocal. Reader preferences differ across countries, and so do the structural conditions: we operate in both fixed-price and free markets; the cultural status of the book varies; and some markets are more digitalised than others. Our publishing companies also hold different market positions and pursue distinct publishing profiles in each country.

These differences shape the way we work. To remain relevant and responsive, we operate through decentralised, locally managed publishing houses and sales channels. This model gives each business the flexibility to act in line with local market needs, while drawing on the strength of the wider group.

Although we empower local leadership, we also see great value in collaboration across core areas such as governance, capital structure, IT security and privacy, M&A, production, sustainability, publishing rights, and, above all, knowledge sharing.
