Peeters Publishers is an international academic publisher founded in Leuven in 1857, joining a tradition of book printing in Leuven dating back to the 15th century.
[1][2][3] In 1857 the Peeters family began its printing house and bookshop in the center of Leuven.
The company grew rapidly and had more than 100 employees at the turn of the twentieth century.
After the First World War, the family focused mainly on its bookshop.
[4] To this day, the Peeters publishing house is still family-owned and has strongly internationalised its activities.
