Zeitfracht Medien GmbH's publishing distribution division adds two new publishers

Erfurt, October 17, 2025.Zeitfracht Medien GmbH has secured two new publishing distribution contracts. Starting November 1, 2025, Zeitfracht will handle distribution for Trabanten Verlag, followed by Westend Verlag on January 1, 2026.

Flexible, sustainable, and market-oriented.”
