MPA GéoDistribution SA was established in September 1981 by Michel Patthey in Chavannes/Renens. For 40 years the company has traded successfully in French-speaking Switzerland as a map publisher with its brand edition mpa and produces hiking maps, panoramic maps, city plans and bespoke publications specifically for non-motorised transport, particularly for leisure and tourism.

However, the range of publications also includes a wide variety of street maps for motorists, covering various European countries. Since 2007 the edition mpa brand is owned by Orell Füssli Kartographie AG.
