  • TLC Tewi Verlag GmbH - last known company name (from 1996-10 to 1999-05)

Overview edit · view history

Tewi Verlag GmbH was a book and software publisher and distributor founded in 1977 and located in Munich, Germany.

The company was acquired by SoftKey International, Inc. in July 1995. As part of SoftKey International, tewi concentrated on developing products from SoftKey's other companies for distribution in Germany.

When SoftKey International Inc. changed its name to The Learning Company, Inc. in October 1996, it also changed the name of this company to TLC Tewi Verlag GmbH. This name was used until at least May 1999. Since The Learning Company, Inc. in its entirety was sold to the Gore Technology Group in October 2000, it is possible that TLC Tewi Verlag was part of that deal. However, no records have been found as to the final fate of the company.
