Company history

The international Improved Reading intellectual property (except North America, Australia and New Zealand) was owned by IISE Ltd. – International Institute of Social Economics with its Head Office in the UK. The Institute was founded by Professor Barrie O. Pettman and has provided its members with professional services since 1972. Professor Pettman holds numerous academic degrees and awards.
Wolfgang Schmitz, who had been developing business in Germany since 2001, established IISE Europe GmbH in 2011 and took over the intellectual property and franchise rights for Europe (except the United Kingdom), Middle East and North Africa. The main objectives of this company are to extend the international network and to support the existing licensees in their regions.
