About

Within this section you will review our history, mission statement, be introduced to our officers, directors, committee chairs, and our administrative staff. We have also recognized individual members who have made significant contributions to the BMI and the printing and publishing industries, and BMI member companies that have developed programs to further the cause for reading and literacy.

Since 1933, the Book Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc. (BMI) has been the leading nationally recognized trade association of the book manufacturing industry. Our membership is comprised of companies ranging in size of those with less than a hundred employees to those employing thousands. BMI member companies annually produce the great majority of books ordered by the U. S. book publishing industry. Today, BMI is a vital part of the industry, playing a leading role by providing an intra-industry communications link among book manufacturers, publishers, suppliers and governmental bodies. BMI conducts a number of programs and activities relating to the interdependent needs of these groups.
