About us

Beuth Verlag GmbH
Our motto "DIN - Published by Beuth" says it all: Beuth Verlag is a subsidiary - and the publishing house - of DIN, the German Institute for Standardization.

Founded in 1924 by DIN together with the Association of German Engineers (VDI). Beuth Verlag takes its name from the Prussian industrial pioneer and founder of Berlin's Technical University, Christian Peter Wilhelm Beuth.

In 1993 the standards bodies of Austria (ON) and Switzerland (SNV) became shareholders of Beuth Verlag GmbH, making it one of the largest technical publishers in Europe. With numerous publications in English and other languages, Beuth has become well-known beyond the German-speaking area. Over 150,000 customers worldwide profit from the synergy between DIN and Beuth.





Beuth shows its colours ...
Beuth's technical publishing programme is as colourful and diverse as the worlds of technology and business themselves.
There is no better indication of this than the colour scheme introduced to help customers find their sector(s) of interest (see the "Categories" in the left navigation bar).





Beuth - diverse, competent, innovative
Beuth's core competence is, of course, anything to do with technical standards and standardization. Over the last few years this sector has undergone a rapid media shift - today more than half of all DIN Standards are bought and used as PDF files.

Beuth is international
Over 17,000 DIN Standards are available in English translation, and money-saving standards compilations - the "DIN Handbooks" - are also available. Many of the 54 document collections published by 47 German organizations that are downloadable at beuth.de are also available in English, often as bilingual editions. The Foreign Sales department can help you find the German technical rule you need. Finally, Beuth's Foreign Standards Service can help you obtain technical rules published outside Germany - in any language!

Beuth online
The world is shrinking - and more and more, Beuth's customers from across the world come to us via the Internet. To no surprise, for Beuth's webshop offers a multitude of possibilities from fast searching to direct downloading over 250,000 documents within only a few minutes. Other online services on specific topics are continually being added, such as Eurocode-online.de or safetyofmachinery.eu.

Over 80,000 customers have used our webshop during the seven years since its inception. As this online service is regularly expanded to include technical rules from around the world, standards users are recognizing that beuth.de can be used as a one-stop-shop for standards and technical literature.

Beuth Live
Meet us face to face at numerous international fairs and exhibitions, including the world's largest industrial fair, the Hanover Fair held every April in Hanover, Germany.
Beuth offers standards users and customers plenty of opportunities to expand their expertise and knowledge in the numerous DIN Conferences and Seminars (at present, most of these are held in German).
