Bobit was a family-run media powerhouse for 57 years, founded in 1961 by Ed Bobit with the launch of our flagship publication, Automotive Fleet.

Originally founded in Illinois, Ed moved the company to Southern California in 1977. “We had lived most of our lives in the Chicago area and really just wanted to experience winters without shoveling snow!” said Ed Bobit, who passed away in 2014. The company became one of the strongest B-to-B media forces in the West and acquired several new titles.

The company jumped into digital media with both feet in 1996 by setting up industry websites for all of its brands. Employing an in-house team, Bobit websites are leaders in their markets.

Bobit was acquired by Gemspring Capital in the fall of 2018, but its family-run business values remain. Gemspring Capital is a private equity firm based in Westport, Conn., and specializes in lower middle-market companies. Although still headquartered in Southern California, Bobit associates work from offices throughout the United States.
