Pivec Publishing House was established in 2003 in Maribor with an aim to promoting reading and education. They publish 15 to 25 book titles annually, ranging from monograph publications, dictionaries, textbooks, original and translated literary works, and handbooks and works from the various areas of interest, such as humanities, sociology, linguistics, medicine, history, law, and business. Their titles can be purchased online on their website. The publishing programme is enhanced by literary evenings, readings, book presentations, and talks with authors.

Pivec Publishing House annually organises the Poetry Tournament, where the best Slovene unpublished poem of the year is chosen. In 2012, on the occasion when Maribor held the title of the European Capital of Culture, the tournament was expanded into the European Poetry Tournament, joining poets from 6 European countries.
