History[]
Endeavor Business Media was founded in 2017 and acquired PennWell in 2019.
PennWell[]
The company, originally called the Petroleum Publishing Company and owned by Pennsylvanian Patrick Boyle, began in 1910 with the acquisition of a magazine based in Beaumont, Texas, called Oil Investors Journal; Boyle moved the publication to Tulsa and renamed it Oil & Gas Journal.[1][2] Boyle died in 1920, and was succeeded first by his son-in-law Frank T. Lauinger, and then, in 1932, by his grandson P.C. Lauinger, who led the Journal to increasing financial success, established a number of other petroleum-oriented publications, and acquired publications in the dental care field.[3] P.C. Lauinger remained in control of the company until his death in 1988; thereafter his son-in-law, Robert Biolchini, led the company[1] until 2015, when Mark Wilmoth was elected president and CEO while Biolchini became chairman of the board.[4]
In 2018, PennWell was acquired by Clarion Events, a British company owned by The Blackstone Group.[5] In 2019, Clarion sold several PennWell divisions to Endeavor Business Media.[6]
