Éditions Rencontre was founded as a co-operative society on 16 June 1950.[2] It was founded with the aim of establishing La revue Rencontre, a youth culture magazine despite the founders having no experience in the publishing world.

However, they soon involved Pierre Balthasar de Muralt, who soon became the principal person running the company, particularly after the review and the publishing house split.[2]

By 1968 the company employed 550 people in Lausanne.[3]
