The Haufe Group, a group of companies based in Freiburg im Breisgau, emerged from the Haufe publishing house, which was founded in 1934. In the past few decades, the classic core areas of the initially pure publishing business have been increasingly replaced and expanded to include offers in the area of ​​training and further education as well as digital workplace solutions and services. According to the company, the group employs more than 1,300 people in Germany and abroad. In addition, more than 1000 freelance authors, developers and designers as well as around 800 trainers, speakers and coaches work for the Haufe Group.
