Grupo Planeta, a privately owned company headquartered in Spain, was founded in 1949 and employs approximately 2,020 individuals. The company specializes in book and periodical publishing, operating as a Spanish communication group with wholly family-owned capital. It functions as a producer and distributor of editorial, news, educational, and entertainment content, serving both the Spanish and French speaking markets.
Logista Books, a joint venture between Logista Integral and Grupo Planeta for book storage and distribution, reported on January 28, 2026, a 4% increase in its total volume of delivered copies for 2025, reaching 37 million. This figure included an 11% rise in general edition lines. Previously, on November 19, 2025, Atresmedia, a communication and media group, agreed to distribute a gross dividend of 0.18 euros per share for the 2025 financial year, with payment scheduled for December 17. This followed the controversy surrounding the 74th Planeta Prize, awarded on November 17, 2025, to Juan del Val for his book "Vera, a love story." Earlier in the year, Grupo Planeta announced 40 job vacancies in early June 2025, significantly boosting the construction sector in Sorocaba.
