Reemers Publishing Services

What Reemers Publishing Services does

Reemers Publishing Services GmbH is a German publishing-technology and services company headquartered in Krefeld, founded in 1987 and owner-managed. It serves German-language specialist publishers across legal, tax/HR, medical, educational, and professional/trade segments, with a stated customer base of 45+ named publishers including Springer Nature, Haufe, Thieme, Beck, and Cornelsen, and several relationships extending 15-20 years. Approximately 3,000 productions per year are processed through the company's workflow.

The core product is RRP365, a Microsoft 365-integrated editorial SaaS platform that the company explicitly positions as "Microsoft 365 for publishers," including a Word Add-In to embed tooling inside authors' primary authoring environment. The portfolio additionally includes LookUP! 365 (a white-label e-library and knowledge platform developed with sister company SilkCode/Silk Data in Minsk), AltTextGen (an AI-powered computer-vision tool for automated accessibility alt-text generation, launched in 2025), and traditional PreMedia production services (typesetting, conversion, layout). AI capabilities are built on Azure OpenAI / OpenAI services and span multiple modalities — text, image, video, audio, and structured data — including a LookUP! AI Assistant for conversational content access and automated e-learning content generation.

The business model combines SaaS subscription revenue (RRP365, LookUP! 365, AltTextGen), per-project services revenue from PreMedia production, and Microsoft 365 consulting and implementation work. Delivery is distributed: approximately 50 employees in Krefeld, with a wholly-owned subsidiary in Sibiu (Romania), a partner operation in Chennai (India), and AI development capacity via the Silk Data sister company in Minsk. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and is publicly active at the Frankfurt Book Fair (confirmed for 2026), pursuing partnerships including with Microsoft and Get More Brain.
