Penguin Random House seems like it has been around for awhile.
1_Wizard
I think it was founded in 2013, sometime in the summer.

I have heard of it prior to that.

It was formed in America in 2013 from a merger between Random House, and the Penguin group.

Okay that makes sense. I have heard of them separately then.
1_Wizard
Yeah they may have formed in America, but they employ people from across the globe through publishing, and the digital book trade.

Do you know when each of them separately formed?
1_Wizard
No, but I do know that Random House was a German Media conglomerate Bertelsmann, and Penguin Group was a British publishing company Pearson PLC.
