What ecomed-Storck does

ecomed-Storck GmbH is a German specialist publisher (Fachverlag) founded in 1979 and headquartered in Landsberg am Lech with a secondary office in Hamburg. The company operates under three core imprints — ecomed SICHERHEIT (occupational safety, dangerous goods, fire protection, hazardous substances), ecomed MEDIZIN (medical specialties), and Storck Verlag Hamburg (dangerous goods and logistics) — plus a digital licensing service branded ecomed:digital. Its core function is producing and distributing German-language professional literature that translates, explains, and operationalizes EU and German regulatory frameworks across dangerous goods transport (ADR, RID, ADN, IMDG-Code, IATA-DGR), hazardous substances (REACH, GHS/CLP), occupational safety (DGUV, Arbeitsschutzrecht), fire protection, and selected medical specialties.

The product portfolio combines print (softcover books, loose-leaf collections/Loseblattwerke, CDs/DVDs, posters, info cards), digital (e-books, online databases, downloadable files), periodicals (e.g., Gefahrgut AKTUELL newsletter, gefährliche ladung magazine), and professional services (paid seminars, webinars, training presentations, the biennial International Dangerous Goods Days Hamburg conference). Underlying technology is a digital publishing and database platform with proprietary online products such as Dangeridoo (a shipper-declaration/document-generation tool covering road, sea, and air dangerous goods), the Gefahrstoffdatenbank hazardous substances database, the Merkblätter Gefährliche Arbeitsstoffe online database of more than 1,000 substance data sheets, and multi-modal transport regulation databases. Marketing and distribution are driven by a portfolio of topic-specific owned domains (gefahrgut.de, gefahrgut-foren.de, dangeridoo.de, fachwissen-feuerwehr.de, ecomed-medizin.de, among others) and seven topic-segmented newsletters.

The revenue model is hybrid: one-time purchases of print publications, recurring annual subscriptions to online databases and periodicals (typically €200-280/year), multi-seat institutional licensing via ecomed:digital, and professional services revenue from seminars, webinars, and the biennial Hamburg event. Pricing is displayed in EUR inclusive of German VAT, with free shipping within Germany and a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront as the primary sales channel. The company serves individual professionals and SMBs across occupational safety, dangerous goods, fire protection, logistics, and medical segments in Germany and the wider EU; no named enterprise customers or anchor logos are disclosed. ecomed-Storck is privately held as a GmbH with no public funding, M&A, or parent-subsidiary disclosures, though shared privacy-policy infrastructure suggests an operational relationship with Südwestdeutsche Medien Holding (SWMH).
