Profi Press

What Profi Press does

Profi Press, s.r.o. is a privately held Czech trade-media company headquartered in the Czech Republic that publishes a multi-title portfolio of specialized magazines, digital editions, television channels, exhibitions, and award programs across four verticals: agriculture, municipalities and local government, veterinary medicine, and horticulture/floristry. The portfolio includes 14+ established print titles (e.g., Zemědělec, Zemědělský týdeník, Úroda/Agronom, Mechanizace zemědělství, Náš chov/Krmivářství, Moderní obec, Komunální technika, Odpady, Energie 21, Veterinářství, Zahradnictví, Floristika), the Slovak-language Roľnícke noviny, and a subscription-based online reading portal at casopisy.profipress.cz. The technology footprint is modest and traditional — proprietary web domains, online magazine portals, an e-shop (obchod.profipress.cz), a subscription management platform (predplatne.profipress.cz), and the AGRO-OBCHOD agricultural e-commerce marketplace — with no disclosed AI, API, or platform-architecture elements.

The company monetizes through four revenue streams: recurring magazine subscriptions (including bundled group electronic subscriptions), advertising sales across print, digital, and television properties (TV Zemědělec, TV Municipal, TV Floristika, TV ROĽNÍCKE NOVINY), event and exhibition fees from four major recurring trade shows (Den zemědělce, Naše pole, CELOSLOVENSKÉ DNI POĽA, Dny zahradní a komunální techniky) plus the Medica Veterinaria conference, and e-commerce transaction revenue from the AGRO-OBCHOD marketplace and branded merchandise. Go-to-market is sales-led and vertical-specialized, targeting farmers and agribusinesses, municipal administrators, veterinarians, and horticulture/floristry professionals in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, with partnerships across major Czech agricultural associations (Agrární komora ČR, Zemědělský svaz ČR, ASZ ČR, SMA ČR, SDZT) and a content-supply relationship with ČTK (Czech News Agency). Profi Press operates with 36 employees and is not publicly listed; no revenue, funding, or ownership data is disclosed in the available source materials.

Recent moves1 record

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Springer Nature: Springer Nature is a global academic and professional publisher producing peer-reviewed journals, magazines, and reference works. Comparable to Profi Press in multi-title publishing with editorial boards and subscription revenue, but operating at vastly larger scale and in adjacent verticals.
• Informa plc: Informa is a global B2B media, events, and information services group. While much larger and more diversified, it operates in the same vertical media plus events model (e.g., penton agriculture) and serves as a benchmark for how a multi-format, multi-vertical trade media business can scale globally.
• John Wiley & Sons: Wiley is a global publisher of academic, professional, and trade content, with strong subscription and advertising revenue streams. Its multi-vertical portfolio and editorial-driven publishing model mirror how Profi Press segments audiences across agriculture, veterinary, and municipal topics.
• RELX plc (Reed Elsevier): RELX owns Elsevier and LexisNexis, operating a major portfolio of subscription-based professional and scientific content with adjacent events. Although far larger and more academic, it represents the scaled analogue of Profi Press's specialized subscription plus advertising business model.

Direct peers

• Farm Progress: Farm Progress is a US agricultural media group publishing multiple regional farm magazines, digital, and live events. Its multi-title, regional-vertical structure parallels Profi Press's approach of running branded titles for distinct agricultural audiences (crops, livestock, machinery).
• Top Agrar (Deutscher Landwirtschaftsverlag / dlv): Top Agrar is Germany's leading agricultural media brand, published by dlv (Deutscher Landwirtschaftsverlag). It operates multi-format ag media (print magazine, digital, events) targeting the same farmer and agri-business audience as Profi Press's Zemědělec/Úroda titles, making it the most directly comparable European agricultural trade publisher.
• Farm Journal Media: Farm Journal is a leading US agricultural media company producing magazines, broadcast (TV and radio), events, and digital properties for farmers. The print + TV + events + digital integration makes it one of the closest direct comparables to Profi Press's multi-format ag media stack.
• Deutscher Landwirtschaftsverlag (dlv): Headquarters of Top Agrar, dlv is a German agricultural media group publishing multiple trade titles, digital platforms, and organizing field events. The portfolio breadth, vertical focus, and B2B trade model closely mirror Profi Press's structure across agriculture, with significantly larger scale.
• Nakladatelství Brázda: Nakladatelství Brázda is a Czech publishing house focused on agricultural and rural content, listed as a partner on Profi Press's website. It is a directly comparable Czech-language agricultural publisher with overlapping audience and editorial scope.

Others

• Česká tisková kancelář (ČTK): ČTK is the Czech national news agency and a content provider to Profi Press (per copyright notice). It is not a direct competitor but an enabling infrastructure partner, supplying the upstream news content that Profi Press repackages and distributes through its titles.
