New publishing house and new trade journal for the construction industry

At the beginning of the year, Switzerland gained a new publishing house, Fachkom GmbH, which focuses on the construction industry. The first publication is a monthly trade magazine called Die Baustellen. The managing directors of the new publishing house, Renato Polentarutti and Bettina Meier, have many years of experience in specialist publishing in the construction industry. The two want to break up old publishing structures with the company, as they announced on Monday. Central to this is the so-called win-win business model, which focuses on trust in the partners and mutual success. The monthly trade magazine Die Baustelle will combine specialist content with stories from and about people in the construction industry in a fresh design. The position of editor-in-chief has been filled by the young journalist Beat Matter. The first issue of Die Baustellen will be published on March 26, 2008 with a circulation of 22,000 copies. The editorial and publishing offices are located in Langnau am Albis.
Fachkom GmbH also offers consulting services and further education seminars in the form of in-house training courses and workshops. The focus is always on the networking concept in order to bring the relevant people together in a profitable way, the press release continues. The so-called "Bautrend", a quarterly event at which speakers discuss forecasts and developments in the construction industry, is also in line with this basic idea. The first "Bautrend" will take place on March 26, 2008 in Zurich and will also mark the launch of the new trade journal.
