ECHO Zeitschriften & Verlags GmbH is an Austrian publishing house based in Tyrol. According to its own account, it has accompanied the Tyrolean economy journalistically for many years and has set standards with its magazines. Its editorial profile centres on business journalism with a strong regional focus, and its public-facing presence is the ECHO Online portal. For a long period the company was led by managing director Mag. Birgit Steinlechner, who is credited with shaping the publisher over many years with foresight, passion and great commitment.

It expressed gratitude to customers, readers and partners for their trust, and stated that it had succeeded in continuing what had proven successful while also setting new impulses. The company reaffirmed its commitment to quality, reliability and personal relationships, and to high-quality business journalism.
