Bücker Fachverlag GmbH & Co. KG

The production, distribution and marketing of dairy and delicatessen products are the media content of Bücker Fachverlag GmbH & Co. KG. Since 1985, the publishing house, now based in Bad Breisig am Rhein, has been active in publishing for the food industry's top-selling product range with specialist publications, trade fairs, workshops and the new IT media. B&L MedienGesellschaft GmbH & Co. KG, Hilden, has held a majority stake in the publishing house since 1999. In the publisher's portfolio of trade journals, the periodicals, which focus on all areas along the production and sales chain, enjoy a high status as preferred sources of information within the industry.

Customer magazines, which are journalistically prepared and edited by the publishing house's specialist editorial teams on behalf of some trade organizations to address end consumers directly, have supplemented and enriched the publishing house's print offering for many years. In addition to trade journals, trade fairs are another important information medium for targeted dialog between manufacturers and sales agents. With InterMopro, an international trade fair for dairy products, Bücker-Fachverlag, together with Messe Düsseldorf, launched a unique European trade fair in 1990, which takes place every two years in the fall in Düsseldorf.

The new electronic media with their seemingly unlimited access to large internal and external databases have also catapulted the information offered by Bücker Fachverlag into completely new dimensions. At the web address www.moproweb.de, in addition to the obligatory, daily news from the world of milk, the industry has access to a huge, digitized archive for its own online research.
