Ingram Streamlines Distribution Group
Beginning in January, publishers that had been part of the Ingram Publishers Services group will be moved to one of the company’s other distribution units—Consortium, Ingram Academic, Publishers Group West, and Two Rivers—depending on their program. As part of the streamlining effort, the original Ingram Publisher Services (IPS) brand will be sunset as a standalone business, but will continue as the overarching brand for the distribution group.
“IPS, Ingram’s original distribution brand, has been a well-respected part of Ingram Content Group since 2005, and served as the foundation for the development of the entire distribution business,” Sabrina McCarthy, v-p and general manager of Ingram Publisher Services, said in a statement. “As the business continues to evolve, we believe that streamlining into four distinct full-service brands within Ingram Publisher Services will help us continue to grow while providing excellent support and service to our clients.”
