Editis edits literature for French-speaking countries -- it's that simple. The publishing company is one of the largest educational and consumer publishing groups in France. Editis organizes its products into three distinct business segments: literature (general public and children's literature), education (grade school textbooks and scholastic aids and games), and reference (dictionaries and encyclopedias). It publishes under more than 40 brands and has some 9,000 titles, and is active in distribution through subsidiary Interforum. Editis traces its roots back to 1835, when it was founded by Charles-Louis Havas as a news agency. Editis is a subsidiary of Spanish publishing firm Planeta Corporación.
