”Mathias Corvinus Collegium, as the largest educational institute
and research center in Central Europe, has confidence
in the Hungarian book market and believes in the power of
books and culture.”
In June 2023, MCC became the 98.5% majority shareholder of the publishing company, Libri Group.
Previously, MCC was a strategic minority shareholder of the company since April 2021.
Libri Group is the leading player in the Hungarian publishing industry with Libri Könyvkereskedelmi
Kft., a key member of the group, serving millions of customers every year through its nationwide network
of more than 50 bookstores and its online store.
Libri works with more than 300 direct and 700 indirect suppliers and publishers and offers 80,000
Hungarian-language books in their bookstore network and also lists around 7,000-9,000 new titles each
year, which means that every 15 minutes a new book appears in Libri’s inventory.
Since MCC’s minority shareholder and subsequent acquisition of majority shareholder status, the company
has made tremendous progress and has increased its financial and commercial success.
”As an owner, MCC aims to guarantee the longterm
future of the Hungarian book market”
