Overview

Terminic is a German calendar manufacturer headquartered in Bremen. The company specializes in the production of multi-month wall calendars, particularly 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, and 8-month overview calendars used by businesses worldwide for customer retention and advertising. Terminic produces millions of wall calendars annually, with calendar grids available in more than 30 foreign languages. The company traces its origins to 1927, when it was founded as a book printing house, B. C. Heye & Co., in Bremen's city center. In 1937, commissioned by Unterweser Reederei AG Bremen, it developed the world's first wall calendar with a 3-month overview, initially delivered as the "Schiffahrtskalender" (shipping calendar) to shipping companies. After World War II, calendar production resumed in 1949, and from the mid-1950s, companies from other sectors increasingly adopted these multi-month wall planners. In 1967, the product name "terminic" was registered as an international trademark, and in 2000 the company itself was renamed terminic GmbH. Today, Terminic is one of the few European businesses specializing in wall calendar production, offering a range of products including monthly wall calendars, desk calendars, poster calendars, and a 3-month calendar app. The company emphasizes certified quality standards and "Made in Germany" production.

History

The company was founded in 1927 as Buchdruckerei B. C. Heye & Co. in Bremen's city center, initially producing catalogs, magazines, and forms for businesses and authorities. In 1937, it was commissioned by Unterweser Reederei AG Bremen to develop a calendar specifically for the shipping industry, offering freight forwarders a long-term scheduling overview and incorporating illustrated advertising. B. C. Heye designed and produced the world's first wall calendar with a 3-month overview, a type of calendar now common in most offices. The calendar was delivered under the name "Schiffahrtskalender" primarily to shipping companies and shipping-related businesses. After World War II, calendar production resumed in 1949. From the mid-1950s, companies from other sectors increasingly used these multi-month wall planners with advertising opportunities, leading B. C. Heye to register the product name "terminic" as an international trademark in 1967. In 2000, the company was renamed and now operates under the name terminic GmbH, matching its product name. Today, Terminic is one of the few European businesses specializing in wall calendar production, manufacturing calendars with 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, or 8-month overviews for companies worldwide, with annual production in the millions and calendar grids in more than 30 foreign languages.
