    “Wolters Kluwer History

    Wolters Kluwer’s deep understanding of customer needs and the market trends that influence them is rooted in our long and rich history of producing high-quality information and tools across regions and different professional markets.

    Wolters Kluwer was founded in the Netherlands more than  175 years ago. Two founding fathers of 18th century Dutch publishing houses, Æbele Kluwer and Jan-Berend Wolters, launched their business to improve the quality of educational materials. As a result of their work, they educated new generations of professionals.

    To this day, Wolters Kluwer continues this strong tradition, always focused on delivering value-adding, next-generation information and solutions to our customers, which has been the hallmark of our company since its very beginning.
