Helyx Srl, the new Milan-based editorial company, emerges from the merger of HPS – Health Publishing & Services, Tecniche Nuove Healthcare, and Point Vétérinaire Italie. An operation that creates a unique ecosystem in Italy, capable of integrating content, data, expertise, and communities across the entire human and animal health value chain, in a One Health vision.
Helyx brings together editorial platforms, events, training pathways, and advisory services for professionals, companies, and institutions in the healthcare world: from pharmaceuticals to medical devices, from cosmetics to veterinary care, and including services. The aim is to make high-quality information a practical tool to support informed decisions, as well as to foster responsible innovation and generate real impact.
The metrics describe a well-established footprint: 30 active media hubs, 250,000 copies of magazines distributed annually, 310,000 followers on social channels, more than 10,000 professionals enrolled in courses and events each year, and a database of 400,000 profiled contacts within the Italian healthcare landscape. An expansion that positions Helyx as the largest Italian B2B entity dedicated to health, in terms of reach, authority, and engagement.
The strength of the new group is bolstered by a solid ecosystem, also thanks to synergies with flagship trade fairs in the healthcare sector, such as Cosmofarma and Exposanità, which contribute to bringing Tecniche Nuove’s overall turnover to around 20 million euros.
Stretching across the Helyx galaxy are historic brands such as NCF – Notiziario Chimico Farmaceutico, Tema Farmacia News, Kosmetica, Tecnica Ospedaliera, Farmacia Ospedaliera, Ortopedici & Sanitari, Il Pediatra, Dermakos.it, Il Dentista Moderno, EyeDoctor. In addition to the entire universe AboutPharma, from content to events, including AboutMedicalDevices and AboutPharma Digital Awards. Alongside these are La Settimana Veterinaria and all other publications in the animal health field.
Into the new configuration also comes Karla Miller, the historic publication dedicated to complementary therapies and integrated care models. With its entry into Helyx, the magazine begins an important path of editorial renewal, with a strengthened focus on prevention, lifestyle, and longevity, themes increasingly central to public health strategies and clinical practice. A journey of editorial and digital renewal, expanding formats, content, and services for its professional community.
«Helyx arises from a clear industrial and editorial vision: to bring together skills, brands, and communities that, until today, have already been benchmarks in their respective fields – says Ivo Alfonso Nardella, president of Tecniche Nuove Group – In the Italian editorial landscape there is no other entity capable of structurally integrating information, training, events and consulting in the field of human and animal health. These are precisely the pillars of Helyx for a distinctive, solid and future-oriented healthcare proposition».
Leading Helyx is Stefania Ambra, Chief Executive Officer, who comments on the birth of the new editorial entity, highlighting its value and responsibilities: «Helyx grows from strong and recognized editorial foundations and from the ability to create and develop healthcare communities. The challenge before us is twofold: on one hand to continue ensuring quality, authority, and independence of information; on the other, to evolve tools, language, and models to accompany companies, professionals, and institutions in a healthcare context that is increasingly complex, regulated, and interconnected».
Taken together, Helyx positions itself as an editorial and strategic partner for companies, national and regional institutions, healthcare professionals, agencies and hospitals, research centers, care facilities, and service companies, in supporting growth, positioning, and impact through editorial content, communications projects, training, events, awareness initiatives, and advocacy.
An ecosystem that aims to decode and anticipate the evolution of healthcare in Italy, actively contributing to its advancement.
