Swets is a subscription management company who's main service is to administer and simplify the interface between publishers and libraries.

History
Swets as a subscription service company was started in 1927 by W.A. Swets, the son of Adriaan Swets who had started the business as a bookstore in 1901. The focus on scientific publications and need for reliability in subscription services fitted well with the company.

By the 1960's Swets had become the one of the largest worldwide subscriptions companies. Over the next decades and with increasing use of automation the company grew and became truly international with local offices serving customers in an increasing number of countries.

Through the 1990's and to today the company has undergone a number of acquisitions and mergers but the core product has remained subscription management.
