History

Audax was founded in 1958 by Jacques de Leeuw. Jacques de Leeuw led the company until 2017 when he was replaced by his son, Hubert de Leeuw.

In 2018, Audax sold magazine publisher Cascade to DPG Media, parting from magazines Primo, Eos, Bahamontes, Motoren & Toerisme and For Girls Only.[1] But for Primo, DPG sold these magazines again.[2] In November 2020, Audax Publishing published 11 magazines. Its most notables titles were HP/De Tijd, Weekend, Party, and Mijn Geheim. Most titles were acquired from the Finnish Sanoma concern.

In 2019 Hubert de Leeuw was replaced by Casper de Nooijer.[3] In 2020, Hubert de Leeuw took over the lead again.[3] In May 2021 Audax published an intention to sell off the Marskramer, Novy and Prima stores it had acquired in 2019.[4] In August 2021, these were acquired by the toy chain Otto Simon.[5] On 1 April 2022, HP/De Tijd left the Audax Groep after 31 years.[6] Since then, HP/De Tijd is published by a newly established nonprifit, Het Vrije Woord.[6]
