Vltava-Labe-Press (VLP) is a Czech publishing house - the second biggest in the Czech Republic. Since November 2015 it belongs to investment company Penta Investments which acquired it from the German publishing groupe Verlagsgruppe Passau.[1][2] It was created in 2000 by the merger of a number of companies including publishing companies Labe and Vltava.[2] VLP assumed control of all regional print media in the Czech Republic in 2001,[2] including national publications Zemské noviny and Slovo.[3] As well as publishing regional daily newspaper Deník, the company also publishes fortnightly women's lifestyle magazine Glanc and nationwide tabloid Šíp.[1] In 2013 VLP bought Sanoma Magazines and merged it with Astrosat - the magazine subsidiary which is from 49 % owned by German publisher Bertesmann AG.
