Are you Macmillan Inc?
The short answer is no, but here is the background history.
Macmillan's US enterprise started in 1869 when a branch office was established in New York. Expansion was rapid and by 1890 the American company had become an independent partnership.
In 1896 the English firm became a limited company and, as part of the reorganisation which followed the death of Alexander Macmillan earlier that year, the American company was incorporated and became the Macmillan Company of New York. Both companies were distinct and independent but relations were close.
In 1951 the long association with the American company was broken when Macmillan sold its shareholding and set about forming a new company. St. Martin’s Press (named after the street in which their London office was located) was incorporated in 1952.
The newly independent Macmillan Company of New York continued to trade under its name until 1973 when Crowell Collier, majority shareholders since 1960, changed the name to Macmillan Inc.
In December 2000 Macmillan Publishers Ltd reached an agreement with Pearson Plc to purchase the Macmillan trademark in the USA. The right to use the name Macmillan was not exclusive (limited licenses were granted to a number of other parties) but the purchase of the trademark allows Macmillan Publishers Ltd to establish a stronger global identity.
