Hachette Book Group will sell and distribute to all retail and wholesale accounts the full list of Welbeck Publishing Group in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, effective March 1, 2027. Hachette UK acquired Welbeck in 2022, becoming part of Headline Publishing Group.
Mari Evans, managing director, Headline, said, "At the point when Hachette UK acquired the former Welbeck business, Ingram Content Group had been supporting strong sales growth for the color publishing in North America and I'm most grateful for their engaged partnership over the past four years. Now we look ahead to fresh horizons with our cousins at Hachette Book Group and to entering a new phase of sustained growth."
Ed Spade, senior v-p of commercial operations, at HBG, said, "Every Welbeck title reflects a commitment to design and production values, from illustrated non-fiction to their gift and children's lists. We are pleased to bring this beautiful catalog onto our U.S. Distribution slate and be a part of their growth story. Placing a list like Welbeck's with the right accounts is exactly what our sales and distribution team is built to do, and we are excited to bring these titles to market."
