Our journey
A story of steady growth, trusted partnerships, and an unwavering focus on service.
The beginning
Transmedia is founded in the attic of two entrepreneurs supplying books to university libraries. Strong service and publisher relationships allow the company to expand quickly from day one.
Move to Amerongen
A small office and warehouse in Amerongen provide room to grow. The company begins serving international organisations and corporate libraries, broadening its client base significantly.
Expanding our services
Our customer base grows steadily as we adapt to changing market needs. Subsidiaries are established in the USA, Great Britain, and Spain, extending our international footprint.
Focus on international schools
In the past decade we increasingly specialise in textbooks for international schools and school libraries, combining deep subject expertise with our established publisher network.
A dedicated local team
Transmedia is run by an experienced local team that continues the values on which the company was founded: reliable service, strong relationships, and a commitment to supporting education and research worldwide.
