Editis, a privately owned company headquartered in France, was founded in 2004 and operates with approximately 1830 employees. The company specializes in Book and Periodical Publishing, functioning as a French publishing group active across the fields of literature, education, and reference materials.

This follows the January 22 appointment of Denis Olivennes to lead Editis.
