BACKGROUND
In 2009, following the excellent results in circulation and turnover generated by Gormiti, Hello Kitty, Bakugan, Cuccioli cerca Amici (Puppy In My Pocket), DinoFroz World and Bella Sara magazines with gadgets, Preziosi Collection (Grani & Partners Newsstands Division) created its own in-house department called GP Publishing to develop all the publishing products aimed at the end consumer.
GP Publishing further consolidated the Preziosi Collection brand on the Italian and European markets by continuing to handle directly the children’s magazines that were being distributed with great success at the time as well as introducing new ones: DinoFroz World was replaced by the new magazine with gadget DinoFroz Combact, which was later joined by dedicated magazines Angel’s Friends, Ben 10, Trick Power, Paciocchini and many others soon to come.
GP Publishing also expanded the company’s publishing business to embrace the world of comics and cartoons, handling the production of new and semi-new manga, comic and DVD material by some of the most illustrious names in the field or in the form of deluxe re-runs of the most famous titles.
GP Manga, GP Comics and GP Video are the brand names under which these products are sold to the public, not just via newsstands, but also through comic stores and Toy Centres.
Other publishing products followed later, for example, illustrated monographs and calendars.
It is important to remember that all the gadgets distributed under the Preziosi Collection brand are tested by the Italian Institute for Toy Safety which, after stringent tests, authorizes use of the “Safe Toy” mark on the item and issues EC-Type Certification as a further guarantee of an item’s complete reliability.
