About Wiley
In 1807, 25-year-old Charles Wiley opened a small printing shop at 6 Reade Street in lower Manhattan, initially printing titles for other publishers and eventually adding financing and distribution to his printing skills to become a full-fledge publisher.For over 200 years, Wiley has evolved to meet the needs of its customers — from letterpress pamphlets to digital apps and interactive online learning tools. The Wiley family’s involvement in the business continues, now into the seventh generation. Given Wiley’s financial stability, experienced leadership team, and talented workforce, the years ahead promise to bring exciting opportunities for continued growth and prosperity.The company may be a far cry from Charles Wiley’s small Manhattan printing shop, but its emphasis on quality and commitment to customers haven’t changed since 1807.For more information visit HERE
