McGraw Hill Financial
Every brand has a story. The story of McGraw Hill Financial is rooted in a simple premise, in CEO Terry McGraw’s words, “Our story is a story of combined intelligence where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”
McGraw Hill Financial is an American publicly traded corporation
headquartered in Rockefeller Center in New York City. Its history dates back to
1888 when James H. McGraw, co-founder of
the company, purchased the American Journal
of Railway Appliances. He continued to add further
publications, eventually establishing The McGraw Publishing Company in 1899.
His co-founder, John A. Hill, had also produced several technical and trade
publications, and in 1902 formed his own business, The Hill Publishing Company.
In 1909 both men, having known each other's interests, agreed upon
an alliance and combined the book departments of their publishing companies
into The McGraw-Hill Book Company. John Hill served as President, with James
McGraw as Vice-President. 1917 saw the merger of the remaining parts of each
business into The McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, Inc. In 1986, McGraw-Hill
bought out competitor The Economy Company, then the nation's largest publisher
of educational material. The buyout made McGraw-Hill the largest educational
publisher in the U.S.
McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, Inc became The McGraw-Hill
Companies in 1995, as part of a corporate identity rebranding.
On March 22, 2013 McGraw-Hill completed the sale of McGraw-Hill
Education to investment funds affiliated with Apollo Global Management. On May 1, 2013, McGraw-Hill rebranded itself
as McGraw Hill Financial.
