Since 1910 PennWell has been known for providing comprehensive coverage of several strategic markets.  In the early days, PennWell was a pioneer in the emerging oil industry with Oil & Gas Journal magazine, founded in 1902.  Today PennWell Corporation is a highly diversified, business-to-business media and information company with 320 profit centers, including 130 print and online magazines and newsletters, 60 conferences and exhibitions on six continents, and an extensive offering of books, maps, websites, research products, digital media, and database services.

PennWell's products serve as a lens for the world, focusing diffuse information into practical business intelligence.  We aim to be where decision-makers worldwide look first to see what happens next in their markets.  This has been our mission since PennWell's founding in 1910.  The ownership of our privately-held company has remained constant during the ensuing decades, as has our commitment to integrity, excellence and innovation in all we do.
