Cambridge University Press around the world

An international tradition

Cambridge University Press has long been an innovator in the area of international trade and export. International trade is a vital part of the mission set out for us at our foundation in 1534; over 85% of our publishing sales are now made outside the United Kingdom and we distribute our publications in more than 200 countries. Every book and every journal is the subject of a coordinated international sales, marketing and distribution service.

English is not the only language in which Cambridge publishes; local-language publishing, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, has long been part of our charitable activities, and our publications are widely translated elsewhere.

International structure

To support our international reach, Cambridge operates in three regions, comprising nine branches that act as publishing and administrative centres. Most Cambridge titles are available in all markets.

Europe, the Middle East and Africa

UK/Europe

Cambridge

The Europe Branch comprises all countries in Europe - including Eastern Europe as far as the Bering Strait - as well as all the countries of the Middle East and North Africa. 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

The Iberian Branch of the Press was established in 1997. The publishing activity of the Branch concentrates almost entirely on producing courses for the local ELT schoolbooks market. These materials are co-published with Ediciones Santa María, a prestigious publishing house with which the Press established a strategic alliance in 2003. Cambridge and Ediciones Santa María are working together to provide the Spanish ELT teaching and learning community with the best choice of coursebooks and supplementary materials.

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 schools in the Gulf area.

Africa

Cape Town

Established in 1995, the African Branch is responsible for all countries in sub-Saharan Africa and the English-speaking Caribbean. Approximately 120 titles are published per year, specializing in language, literacy, mathematics and the sciences, aimed primarily at the schools market but also including academic titles relevant to Africa. The branch also has an extensive programme of home language publishing, and publishes readers in over seventy-five local African languages. Cambridge University Press acquired Roedurico Trust in late 2002, which has expanded its reach further, through the popular Study & Master series.

Asia-Pacific

Asia

Singapore

Cambridge University Press Asia, based in Singapore, was established in 1998. There are individual country offices in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia, and four offices in China. 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 and distribution for the region became its responsibility.

Australia

Melbourne

The Australian Branch was established in 1969. The Press's Melbourne-based headquarters is the hub of a modern publishing operation comprising all stages of editorial, design and production, marketing, sales, and distribution. 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 acquisition and a strong local programme the Branch has become a major publisher for the local schoolbook market. Already a leader in senior secondary mathematics, its growth will be fuelled by new products for business studies and history over the coming years.

Americas

America

New York

Cambridge University Press first established a Branch in the Americas in 1949, and this has grown to become larger than any American university press in terms of staff, scope and annual output. The Manhattan office acquires and publishes books in many areas of the humanities and social sciences, with particular focus on subjects including law, history, political science and economics; it is also active across a broad spectrum of science and medicine publishing. It administers some of the prestigious journals issued by the Press and it also publishes an extremely successful list of books aimed at those learning American English as a foreign or second language.

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 its head office in São Paulo, Cambridge University Press employs thirty-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.
