The printing company was founded in 1950 by Karl Thiemig (1892–1965), who was a partner in the Munich-based Bruckmann Verlag from 1928 to 1950 . The commercial printer of Thiemig was one of the then leading in Munich farms. The publishing house set its focus on science and technology, especially on nuclear physics and technology (magazine: Atomkernenergie ), tourism ( Grieben travel guide ) and a series of paperback books.
In the art sector, the magazine Die Kunst und das Schöne Heim was published and in 1973 the Piperdrucke Verlags-Gesellschaft was acquired, which had been publishing high-quality Piper prints as art print reproductions since 1923.
