50 Years of HUSS-VERLAG: From an Old Building in Schwabing to a Modern B2B Media House

On April 1, 1975, the success story of HUSS-VERLAG began in an old apartment located at Friedrichstraße 17 in Munich. Company founder Wolfgang Huss, with just two employees and his wife Karin, laid the foundation for what is now an established media company. In cooperation with the Verkehrsverlag Jakob Fischer, the publishing company launched with the book project “Wie weit ab München” – followed by other specialized books related to mobility and environmental law. 

Just a few months after its founding, the publishing company made its first appearance at the IAA in Frankfurt in September 1975 – right next to industry giants such as Daimler-Benz and MAN. In the following years, the company grew continuously. In 1986, it moved to its own publishing building, complete with a printing facility, at today's location on Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen in Munich.

Logistics, Transport, Automotive, Tourism and Passenger Transport 

Today, HUSS-VERLAG employs around 75 permanent staff members and is a central information service provider for professionals and executives in the areas of logistics, transport, automotive, tourism, and passenger transport. Among the well-known specialist publications are LOGISTIK HEUTE, LOGISTRA, Technische Logistik, taxi heute, busplaner, VISION mobility, Unterwegs auf der Autobahn, PROFI Werkstatt and the newspaper Transport. In addition to print formats, digital content and event formats play a central role in the company strategy.

“We can proudly look back on 50 years of expertise in the taxi and bus industry as well as our beloved logistics. Unfortunately, my father passed away this January at the age of 84 and was not able to witness the 50th anniversary of his life's work," said Christoph Huss, managing partner of HUSS VERLAG GmbH.

Digital Knowledge and Networking Event CONFERENCE DAYS

Another focus is on the CONFERENCE DAYS – a digital knowledge and networking event initiated by the publisher in 2021. The fifth edition will take place from May 12 to 15, 2025. With approximately 7,000 professional visitors and over 22,000 session registrations so far, the format has established itself as a key fixture in the digital B2B event calendar.

Numerous prestigious industry awards 

Additionally, HUSS-VERLAG presents numerous prestigious industry awards, including the European Transport Award for Sustainability, the BEST PROFESSIONAL Workshop Brand, the International busplaner Sustainability Award, the BEST OF mobility Award, and the Supply Chain Management Award. The online presence of the trade magazines has also developed into sought-after information platforms for industry decision-makers.
