Juta and Company is the oldest publishing house in South Africa, and may well be South Africa’s oldest unlisted public company still in existence today. Remarkably, the company remains true to its initial intent to service education and information requirements, and for close on 160 years Juta and Company has been especially associated with Law, Education and Academic publishing and retailing. Drawing on its heritage of authority and excellence, Juta has remained relevant by retaining its entrepreneurial spirit of embracing technological innovation and diversifying beyond publishing and retail into training, e-learning and technology-driven information solutions.
