Obzorja Publishing House was founded in 1950 on the initiative of several Maribor authors including Anton Ingolič, Jaro Dolar, and Branko Rudolf. It soon became one of the most important cultural and educational establishments in the broader Maribor region, offering a variety of different book and audio-video materials.

Today, Obzorja Publishing House works in different fields of book production. In addition to original Slovene and translated literature for children, young people and adults, it offers primary and secondary school textbooks, handbooks for areas of interests ranging from traveling and cooking to more scientific topics. Its publishing programme is presented at book fairs across Slovenia.
