About

They focus on providing access to scientific research through a broad spectrum of journals and books. Founded in 1842 in New York, Springer SBM specializes in academic publishing. The company underwent a significant transition in ownership in August 2013, when BC Partners acquired it for EUR 3300 million from EQT Partners and GIC.
EQT remained a stakeholder following the acquisition. The company has completed a total of 3 deals. Springer offers a diverse array of scholarly products and services, including over 2,900 journals and approximately 300,000 books across various fields such as science, technology, medicine, and social sciences.

In 2012, Springer reported a revenue of EUR 1,261,566,000 and an EBITDA of EUR 438,526,000, reflecting its robust financial health and operational efficiency within the academic publishing sector. Springer SBM plans to leverage the funding from the EUR 3300 million Secondary Buyout in June 2013 to enhance its product offerings and expand into new markets. The company is focusing on launching innovative academic products aimed at increasing accessibility to research, with specific strategies targeting growth in Asia and Latin America by 2025.
