De Persgroep NV is a Flemish media company owned by the Van Thillo family. In 1978 the family obtained 60 percent of shares in the publishing company Hoste. When in 1990 the rest of the shares were acquired, the company’s name was changed to De Persgroep.
In 2003 the group’s annual turnover was 334 million euros.
In December 2009, the company merged with PCM Publishing to become De Persgroep Nederland. The enlarged group adds the newspapers Algemeen Dagblad, de Volkskrant, Trouw, NRC Handelsblad, nrc.next and Het Parool.
