Kunnskapsforlaget was a Norwegian book and periodical publisher focused on dictionaries for Norwegian and bilingual use. The company operated with a small team and established itself as the largest commercial publisher in Norway for language-reference works. It began publishing dictionaries at its founding in 1975 and gradually expanded into digital products from the 1990s, culminating in the launch of the Ordnett.no platform in 2004. The publishing of reference dictionaries served readers and language learners seeking reliable, accessible language tools, bridging print and digital access. In 2020, Kunnskapsforlaget merged with Gyldendal Norsk Forlag, reflecting a significant change in its corporate structure within the Norwegian publishing landscape. Based in Norway, it contributed to a market centered on dictionaries and language reference materials, with a long history of Norwegian and bilingual content.
