The Book Manufacturers’ Institute is in our eightieth year of service to the ever important book industry. BMI has provided tremendous value to its member companies, and to all the individuals who have been part of its seventy-seven year history. Our member companies represent every facet of our industry, and produce the great majority of books ordered by the U.S. book publishing industry. These companies range from full service book manufacturers to companies specializing in the digital print market, specialty binderies, component printers, packagers,  equipment manufacturers, and suppliers of a variety of materials and services. 

Since 1933 BMI has been providing value to both its member companies and others who are associated with the book industry.  From its efforts to promote readership and literacy to its unparalleled networking opportunities, BMI gives back to its members, to the book industry and to the communities our members do business in. BMI continues to provide a vital link between book manufacturers, publishers, suppliers, and governmental groups.

Welcome to the BMI website. We hope that you find it informative and of value. Please contact our BMI office if we can ever be of any assistance.
