Publishing and multimedia firm PUMA MEDIA was established in August 1986 when it published the first issue of the illustrated monthly magazine TU I TAM (Here And There). Its founder and editor-in-chief, was Ted Matkowski, who for many years worked as a reporter for the Austrian news weekly Profil, and was the founder of the Vienna-based international press agency, Matt Press.

By 1988, the company grew to include a state-of-the-art graphic design studio and modern printing facilities. Originally called Halrod Press, the business changed its name, initially to Puma Printing Works and subsequently to PUMA PRESS.

PUMA PRESS was not only involved in publishing and printing works in Australia but also produced printed material for export. Puma Press printed a large range of books, magazines, catalogues, coloured postcards, which included a specific series on Pope John Paul II and a very well known series of Australian postcards entitled "The Face of Australia". In addition to its large range of books published in the English language, Puma Press had an extensive range of books printed in Polish.

In 1994 PUMA PRESS expanded into the area of the arts and performances by promoting Polish artists to the Australian public. This area also included the promotion of Polish films under the trading name Puma Film. In April 2005 PUMA MEDIA was established combining PUMA PRESS and PUMA FILM.
