Originally founded in 1977 by Lionel Koffler, the brand remains a family-owned Canadian enterprise. While the headquarters and primary operations are based in Richmond Hill, Ontario, the manufacturing of their physical books occurs globally across multiple countries including Canada, the United States, and China, depending on the specific edition and printing requirements. The brand has maintained its independence for decades, serving as both a publisher of its own content and a key distributor for other academic and reference presses in the North American market.
