history
Ansbert Herdt founded the publishing house together with his wife Andrea in 1991, out of dissatisfaction with the teaching material for IT courses available at the time and with the knowledge he had from computer courses he had given, for which he had written the documents himself. The publishing house was founded in Nackenheim . Since 2001 the head office has been in Bodenheim near Mainz . In 2013 the founders Andrea and Ansbert Herdt took over the management of the publishing house again.
Corporate structure
In Bodenheim - almost unique in the German publishing industry - books are partly written and edited in-house. In addition, everything from prepress to printing and sales is managed in-house. There are currently around 40 employees at HERDT, plus many freelance authors, including teachers and trainers, who are greatly enriched with their practical experience.
