Tecniche Nuove

What Tecniche Nuove does

Tecniche Nuove S.p.A. is an Italian professional publishing group founded in 1964 by Giuseppe Nardella and headquartered in Milan (Via Eritrea 21/A). The company operates a multi-format publishing platform spanning three core product lines: 139 specialized magazines distributed at 418,959 monthly copies across print and digital formats, a book catalog of 1,160+ professional titles plus 800+ ebooks organized into 35 thematic collections, and 100+ online professional development courses including ECM-accredited training for healthcare professionals. Verticals covered include healthcare (dentistry, pharmacy, hospital management), agriculture and food (livestock, agritech, food safety/HACCP), engineering and construction (CAD/BIM, architecture, occupational safety), and veterinary publishing through wholly-owned subsidiaries Edagricole, Helyx, Accademia Tecniche Nuove, Point Veterinaire Italie, and Reda.

The technology stack consists of a direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform with integrated digital content delivery via a customer Area Riservata (reserved area) for ebooks, online magazines, and course materials, plus a learning management system for asynchronous and tutor-assisted ECM courses. Distribution is digital-first with 147 web properties generating 1.74 million monthly unique visitors, 500,000+ monthly newsletter subscribers, and an active trade show business organizing 13 exhibitions with 85,869 sqm of net exhibition space. Payment infrastructure spans Stripe, PayPal, Satispay, Scalapay installments, and Linx.

The business model is a hybrid of one-time purchases (books priced €15-€95, courses priced €21-€250) and recurring revenue through annual magazine subscriptions (priced €35-€259 with auto-renewal after 365 days), complemented by bundle offers combining magazines with books at 10-36% discounts. The company serves individual professionals rather than enterprise accounts, monetizing mandatory continuing-education and regulatory-compliance demand in Italy. Founded capital stands at €5,000,000 fully paid, and the company operates as a privately held Italian S.p.A. with no disclosed external investment, revenue, or headcount figures.
