We produce a staggering 160 million books each year - everything from the Holy Bible to bestsellers like Harry Potter.

Unrivalled for quality, service and innovation, we’re the UK's largest book printer and exclusive supplier to many leading publishing houses for whom we print over half the UK’s paperbacks.

group strength

For decades, Clays Ltd, our book production business has been recognised as the market leader in book printing. As part of the St Ives Group they now have even more to offer. For our customers, being part of St Ives means Clays offer a wider range of products and added value services than any of its competitors.

Through integration with other Group products, technologies and distribution channels, we now offer a service competitors cannot match within the book market. Ongoing investment in machinery, people and systems means that today our capabilities extend way beyond simple book manufacturing into data management, logistics, fulfillment and distribution.
