Brill to acquire V&R.

Brill, an international academic publisher in the humanities, social sciences and international law, agreed to acquire Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, a publishing house. Financial terms were not disclosed. “Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht is Brill’s twin in Germany: a very long family tradition, excellent reputation among authors and scholars and leading in the Humanities, mainly in the same fields as Brill. With the acquisition Brill reaches its strategic objective, set with the acquisition of Schöningh & Fink in 2016, to create a second home market in Germany and generate a revenue in Germany of more than 10 million euro within 5 years," Peter Coebergh, Brill CEO.
