History
Tamedia's newspaper printing tradition is based on the Druckzentrum Zürich and reaches back over 125 years of media history.
With the Druckzentrum Bern, another printing plant firmly rooted in the region was added; in conjunction with the publishing logistics, the Espace Mittelland from Lake Constance to Lake Geneva is covered.
