McIntosh explained of the merger, saying, "We will need to do two things simultaneously. First, we must expand and strengthen the expert publishing teams who are specialized in and dedicated to each category. Second, we must invest even more aggressively in title-level and scaled marketing programs, capabilities, and partnerships. This will ensure that we not only maximize the sales for each individual book but also keep pace with consumer trends."<ref>{{Cite news |first=John |last=Maher |date=October 18, 2018 |url=https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article/78369-random-house-crown-merge.html |title=The Random House and Crown Publishing Groups Merge |work=Publishers Weekly |access-date=November 16, 2018 |archive-date=November 16, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181116020118/https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article/78369-random-house-crown-merge.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Verlagsgruppe Random House was established after Bertelsmann's 1998 acquisition of Random House, grouping its German imprints (until then operating as Verlagsgruppe Bertelsmann) under the new name; before April 2020, it has explicitly no legal part of the worldwide Penguin Random House company and a hundred percent subsidiary of Bertelsmann instead but de facto is led by the same management. It is the second largest book publisher in Germany with more than 40 imprints, including historic publishing houses [[Goldmann (publisher)|Goldmann]] and [[Heyne Verlag]], as well as C. Bertelsmann, the publishing house from which today's Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA would eventually evolve. Verlagsgruppe Random House is headquartered in [[Munich]] (with additional locations in [[Gütersloh]] (where Bertelsmann is headquartered), [[Cologne]], and [[Aßlar]]), employs about 850 people, and publishes roughly 2,500 titles per year. Following the formation of Penguin Random House, a '''Penguin Verlag''' (with no legal connection to Penguin Books) was founded for the German market in 2015, as part of the Verlagsgruppe Random House. With Bertelsmann acquiring full ownership of Penguin Random House in April 2020, Verlagsgruppe Random House is being reintegrated with the main Penguin Random House company and now known as '''Penguin Random House Verlagsgruppe.'''<ref name="acq">{{cite web |title=Bertelsmann Completes Full Acquisition of Penguin Random House |url=https://www.bertelsmann.com/news-and-media/news/bertelsmann-completes-full-acquisition-of-penguin-random-house.jsp |date=2020 |publisher=[[Bertelsmann]] |access-date=April 27, 2020 |archive-date=October 27, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201027091110/https://www.bertelsmann.com/news-and-media/news/bertelsmann-completes-full-acquisition-of-penguin-random-house.jsp |url-status=live }}</ref>
