Our Roots: A Pioneering Spirit Since 1984
The history of bhv dates back to 1984, when the home computer and PC markets began to grow rapidly. In the 1990s, the company made a name for itself throughout the industry under the name bhv Verlags GmbH. During this period, the publishing house gained widespread recognition through, among other things, the highly successful book series “Das Einsteigerseminar” as well as the distribution of popular educational software such as “WinFunktion Mathematik,” which was added to the portfolio in 1995.
Expansion and Change in the 2000s
At the dawn of the new millennium, the company operated under the name bhv Software GmbH & Co. KG and evolved into a versatile, independent software publisher specializing in digital media, education, tools, and games. In 2003, bhv successfully began marketing its products internationally in North America and other European countries. The company also made its mark on the market by launching its own gaming labels, such as Rebel Games (2004) and XIDER (2007). In 2006, bhv Software GmbH & Co. KG was ultimately acquired by net AG, marking another milestone in the professionalization of its core business.
bhv Verlag GmbH Today
In January 2016, what is now known as bhv Verlag GmbH (originally founded as Eyfalia Publishing GmbH) was established to combine the brand’s strong traditions with fresh, modern ideas. From our location on Langeheck in Bad Münstereifel, we are now once again focusing entirely on our core competencies: The dissemination of digital knowledge and the provision of top-tier software solutions for day-to-day operations, as well as the distribution of Bitdefender products to consumers and business customers in the DACH region.
