publishing house
'der Verlag' and 'die Verlagsgruppe' both belong to the world of books and media. A Verlag is a single company that publishes books, magazines, or other media. A Verlagsgruppe is larger: it consists of several publishing houses that belong together but often still have their own names. The words can be confused because a Verlagsgruppe contains publishing houses. If you are talking about a specific individual company, 'Verlag' fits. If you mean several publishing houses under one roof, 'Verlagsgruppe' is correct.
Die Verlagsgruppe hat im letzten Jahr zwei kleinere Verlage gekauft.
