Cambridge University Press around the world

UK/Europe

Cambridge

The Europe Branch covers all countries in Europe, as far east as Turkey, the countries of Central Asia and Russia. The Europe Branch publishes the full range of titles, from the schools market, through to English Language Teaching, to academic and professional publishing. The majority of Press titles are published from this Branch.

Iberia

Madrid

From its modern office in the financial heart of Madrid, the Press's Iberian Branch manages sales to Spain and Portugal, and publishes for the whole Spanish-speaking world. ELT representatives are based around Spain and in Lisbon, and academic representatives operate out of the Madrid office. A warehouse near Madrid ensures that booksellers anywhere on the peninsula can receive most books in stock within two days of placing an order. Having started purely as an ELT promotional operation, the Iberian Branch has grown to encompass academic and educational marketing, a sales and distribution function and, since 1997, an editorial and publishing role. The publishing activity of the Branch is now focused on producing materials which meet the specific needs of Spanish-speaking learners.

Middle East and North Africa

Dubai

The Middle East/North Africa Branch of the Press operates from offices in Cairo, Dubai and Riyadh. It publishes materials principally for the curriculum-education markets of the Arab World. Through the MENA Branch, the Press is engaged in a strategic Joint Venture with the Obeikan Group of Saudi Arabia which focuses on publishing for the Gulf area.

Africa

Cape Town

Established in 1995, the Africa Branch is responsible for about 44 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Approximately 200 titles are published per year, specializing in language, literacy, mathematics and the sciences, aimed primarily at the schools market but also including one or two academic titles relevant to Africa. Curriculum specific publishing is currently being undertaken for the following markets: South Africa, Namibia, Swaziland, Botswana, Zambia, Cameroon, Senegal and Ghana. In the other countries Cambridge

International Examinations (CIE) and ELT reference and course books are marketed and sold. The Branch has agents in 15 countries. These agents are usually established booksellers who market, import and sell Press titles.

Asia

Singapore

Cambridge University Press Asia, based in Singapore, was established in 1998. There are individual country offices in South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia, and four offices in China, including Hong Kong. Each office has a sales and marketing function, and works closely with its local distribution partners to ensure that publications are available to teachers, students, academics, librarians and the general public throughout Asia. As a publishing centre, the Asia Branch is developing the Cambridge Learning list for the expanding Asian market. In 2005 the role of the Singapore office was significantly expanded when customer service, distribution and credit management for the region became its responsibility.

Japan

Tokyo, Japan

The Japan Branch officially came into being on May 1, 2009, almost two years after the purchase of United Publishers Services (UPS), the long-time distributor of Cambridge publications in Japan. Prior to that time, the Press had operated first as a division of UPS (from the mid-1980s until 1999) and then later as a representative office and finally as an independent company which became physically separate from UPS in January 2004 when both companies moved from their joint offices near Ochanomizu in Tokyo. With its own warehouse, the Press in Japan also represents and distributes nearly 150 other academic publishers from the U.K., U.S., Europe, Australia and Asia. Approximately 40% of the total business in Japan is comprised of Cambridge publications (breaking down roughly into 20% ELT and 20% academic and professional) with the rest of the business centered around the distribution of other academic, professional and art/architecture titles. While marketing activity is focused on end-users at universities and other institutions throughout Japan, the distribution business is primarily wholesale sales to the members of the Japanese book trade.

Australia

Melbourne

The Australia Branch was established in Melbourne in 1969. Its main territory of Australia and New Zealand is spread over five time zones and the Branch is also a point of contact for customers in Papua New Guinea, Fiji and the other Pacific islands. Through strategic acquisitions and a strong local program, the Branch has become a major publisher for the local schoolbook market, both in Australia and New Zealand, particularly in senior secondary mathematics, but also more recently in english and the humanities. Academic publishing concentrates on tertiary textbooks and professional reference titles, with specific emphasis on law, business and management, and the social sciences.

India

New Delhi

The India Branch opened in 2006 and has expanded rapidly ever since. The seventh office opened in Pune recently to work alongside existing offices in Hyderabad, Chennai, New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Bangalore. The Indian Branch also covers Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Afghanistan.

Original academic and educational textbooks are published that focus on South Asia. Publishing based on the needs of International Schools, following the Cambridge International Examinations is also happening.

North America

New York

Cambridge University Press first established a Branch in New York in 1949. From small beginnings the Branch has grown to become one of the largest academic publishers in the Americas. Editors in the New York office acquire and publish books in many areas of the humanities and social sciences, with particular focus on subjects including law, history, political science, economics, and archaeology. Editors are also active across a broad spectrum of science and medicine publishing, as well as administering many of the prestigious journals issued by the Press. The Branch also publishes an extremely successful and rapidly growing list of books and other materials aimed at those learning American English as a foreign or second language.

Latin America

Mexico City

The Latin America Branch was established in 2010. From a head office in Mexico City, and with representative offices in most of the major cities of Spanish-speaking Latin America, the Branch handles sales, marketing and distribution for the full range of the Press’s book publications. In addition, it has an editorial capacity devoted to the publishing of country- or region-specific materials. Warehouses in Mexico (for Mexico, El Salvador and Honduras) and Panama (covering all other territories) ensure prompt and economical delivery to booksellers and schools.

Brazil

Sao Paulo

The Press's representation in Brazil started in 1989, although its books had been available for many years through a number of bookshops around the country. The operation grew rapidly and in 1998 the Brazil Branch was established. Today, with an office in Rio de Janeiro and its head office in São Paulo, Cambridge University Press employs forty-seven people and it is one of the largest international publishers in this important market. ELT is the driving force of the Press's businesses in Brazil, but our academic publications are well known in all major universities. Cambridge University Press strives to positively impact the communities wherever it is based through partnerships on social projects. The Brazil Branch is currently engaged in 35 social initiatives that make a difference to our local communities.
