Gyldendal ASA

Gyldendal is the leading group in the Norwegian book industry and operates across all parts of the value chain, from publishing and content production to distribution, retail, marketplaces, and services. Our main objective is to create and communicate value within the fields of culture and knowledge.

Like many other companies, Gyldendal is undergoing transformation. We are evolving from being a traditional publishing house into a provider of content and services.

We develop content in various formats for an increasing number of services, particularly within e-commerce, streaming services, and digital learning tools. Nevertheless, the core of what we do remains the same: we create and share stories, knowledge, and culture.
