De Agostini
De Agostini S.p.A., often spelled DeAgostini (without the spacing), was founded in 1901 and is a Novara, Italy-based holding company that specializes in the production of magazines, comics, and collectibles. 

The company has regularly produced partwork publications based on a number of licensed entertainment properties such as Star Trek, Star Wars, and Marvel, among many others. These publications are distributed in sixty-six countries, primarily under the Atlas Editions, De Agostini Publishing, De Agostini Editore, and Planeta De Agostini imprints.

Star Trek licensing
De Agostini's involvement with the Star Trek franchise commenced with the publication of edited versions of GE Fabbri's Star Trek Fact Files and the Star Trek: Best Episode Collection for the Japanese market. 

Later, the company initiated the short-lived The Official Star Trek The Next Generation: Build the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D partwork publication in Japan.

For the former three publications, De Agostini entered into a joint venture with GE Fabbri. Under contract to GE Fabbri, Midsommer Books' UK staff were responsible for editing and writing while De Agostini's Japanese branch was responsible for the translation, marketing, and production for Japan. GE Fabbri and Eaglemoss Publications merged in 2012 to form Eaglemoss Collections.

For its home country of Italy, the company also published a truncated Italian-language version of the Star Trek Fact Files.

Beginning in 2012, the company began to publish Eaglemoss Collections/Hero Collector's Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection partwork (and the first two of its related Shipyards reference books in 2019) in Japan, under its own imprint.

De Agostini also publishes Eaglemoss/Hero Collector's Star Trek: Discovery The Official Starships Collection and Star Trek: The Next Generation Build The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D partworks in Japan, under the De Agostini imprint.
