Learn more about the hgv.

Our customers and partners speak for us.

"The hgv has a good network in the market and in the industry and is a pioneer in all technical and organizational developments. We are always impressed by the expertise and enthusiasm of the staff. The service level is consistently very high. The professional project management of hgv accompanies all projects safely and efficiently."

Christoph Schaupp - Sigloch Distribution Geschäftsführer

"Klopotek was founded in 1992 and we have been working with the Holtzbrinck Group since 1994. Our cooperation with hgv dates back to 1998, so we have known them for many years and value them as a reliable partner. The hgv has successfully and competently implemented Klopotek software in numerous publishing houses, not only Holtzbrinck companies, and continues to do so."

Stefan Jacob - Klopotek & Partner GmbH Geschäftsführer

"We have now been receiving telephone support from the hgv for over six years, once a month on call. For us, this only brings advantages, because you can order the titles from the various publishers bundled together and, of course, get them with an invoice in one delivery. Personal contact is particularly important to us, which would of course fall by the wayside with purely online ordering."

David Brück-Thies - Buchhandlung Feussner Köln

"With the other well-known publishers delivering via hgv, we can share the delivery and invoicing network - a great advantage for booksellers, as this enables short order intervals and profitable delivery units."

Stefan Fritsch - Diogenes Management Market & Organization

"In spring 2010, the C.H.BECK publishing group decided to use the services of hgv for the production and delivery of our e-books. The decisive factors for us were the competence, the well thought-out quality standards and the friendly staff at hgv. Our expectations have been met and we enjoy working with hgv."

Dr. Jonathan Beck - Verlag C.H.Beck
