Macmillan Publishers is one of the world's largest and most wll-known international publishers. Founded in 1843 in London, England, it forms part of the Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck, a German media group which operates in more than 80 countries. In recent years, Macmillan has been particularly keen to develop a list of publications in the Spanish and Portuguese languages for Latin America and Europe. For this reason, it created Grupo Macmillan which is made up of a number of publishing companies that operate out of their own offices in the countries concerned. Helping to Learn, helping to teach!
