Anniversary of a visionary specialist publisher: 50 years ago, HUSS-VERLAG began in a Munich old apartment – Today, it is one of the leading medium-sized B2B media houses for logistics, transport, and mobility in the German-speaking region, with digital formats as well as renowned trade magazines and industry events.
The success story of HUSS-VERLAG began on April 1, 1975, in an old apartment at Friedrichstrasse 17 in Munich. Company founder Wolfgang Huss laid the foundation for today's established media company with just two employees and his wife Karin. In cooperation with the Verkehrsverlag Jakob Fischer, the publisher started with the book project "Wie weit ab München" – followed by other specialist books
related to mobility and environmental law.
Just a few months after its founding, the publisher presented itself for the first time at the IAA in Frankfurt in September 1975 – right next to industry giants such as Daimler-Benz and MAN. In the following years, the company grew continuously. In 1986, the move to its own publishing building with an adjoining printing plant took place at its current location on Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen in Munich.
Today, HUSS-VERLAG employs around 75 permanent staff and is a well-known information service provider for specialists and managers in the areas of logistics, transport, automotive, tourism, and passenger transportation. Among the well-known specialist publications are, among others, LOGISTIK HEUTE, LOGISTRA,
Technische Logistik, taxi heute, busplaner, VISION mobility, Unterwegs auf der Autobahn, PROFI Werkstatt, and the newspaper Transport.
Alongside print formats, digital content and event formats play a central role in the company strategy.
Additionally, HUSS-VERLAG awards numerous prestigious industry prizes, including the European Transport Award for Sustainability, the BESTE PROFI Werkstatt-Marke, the International busplaner Sustainability Award, the BEST OF mobility Award, or the Supply Chain Management Award. The online presences of the trade magazines have also developed into sought-after information platforms for industry decision-makers.
"With pride, we can look back on 50 years of expertise in the taxi and bus industry as well as our beloved logistics. Unfortunately, my father passed away
this January at the age of 84 and was not able to experience the 50th anniversary of his life's work," said Christoph Huss, Managing Partner of HUSS VERLAG GmbH.
Within the HUSS group, headquartered in Munich and Berlin, HUSS-VERLAG is a central component. The portfolio is complemented by sister companies HUSS-MEDIEN GmbH in Berlin, focusing on electrical trades and building technology, and EUROEXPO Messe- und Kongress-GmbH, which organizes LogiMAT, among others—one of the world's leading intralogistics trade fairs.
Today, HUSS-VERLAG is led by Christoph Huss and Rainer Langhammer—and will not only celebrate half a century of company history in 2025 but also its role as an innovative and reliable partner for B2B
