NASHVILLE, TENN (March 20, 2025) – Ingram Content Group’s (“Ingram”) unique catalog of world-language titles is growing significantly due to an exclusive commercial arrangement with Hachette Livre. Ingram now serves as the print-on-demand direct distributor to the US market of Hachette Livre’s entire library of imprint titles, both owned and distributed – the largest catalog of French classic, contemporary, and public domain literature.
Ingram and Hachette Livre already have a print-on-demand joint venture through Lightning Source France and have been collaborating to distribute to the French market since 2010. In Ingram’s catalog of titles, millions are non-English titles, and because of Hachette’s long-standing partnership with Ingram, French is among the most prevalent languages distributed.
“This new agreement further strengthens the strong partnership established over 15 years ago between Ingram and Hachette Livre around print-on-demand solutions,” says Benoît Aubin, Director of Publisher Relations at Hachette Livre. “This unique solution for printing and distribution through Ingram's global network will enable our publishers' catalogues to be promoted even more effectively on an international scale and distributed in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way by overcoming the barriers of time and market access.”
“The partnership with Hachette Livre is part of Ingram’s goal to help more books get into the hands of readers faster,” says Janice Butler, Director of Content Solutions at Ingram Content Group. “Growing our catalog of non-English language titles breaks down barriers to distribution and allows readers to access content that might not otherwise be available locally through retailers and libraries. Through our global distribution and print network, we enable retailers and libraries access to the books that support their customers and patrons, publishers to find economical and sustainable solutions for accessing markets, and authors to reach more readers.”
Ingram serves publishers, authors, libraries, and booksellers in nearly 150 countries and in over 350 languages. Because of Ingram’s global reach and unique capabilities to quickly and efficiently meet the tailored needs of publishers of all shapes and sizes world languages, the number of global publishers coming to Ingram for a cost-effective, sustainable solution to sell more books in more markets continues to grow.
