Book printing might be a traditional industry, but that’s not to say it can’t have a revolution or two. A belief in these two facts has been the Antony Rowe philosophy since the company was created in 1983.

That’s why we were the first in the UK to see that printing on demand would take the industry into the 21st century. That’s why we could see that an alliance with GARDNERS BOOKS would offer publishers an unrivalled sales platform. That’s also why we were the first in the UK to use the Xerox Docutech for short-run book printing.

But without our customers we wouldn’t have spotted these opportunities. It was only by listening to their needs – and often anticipating them – that we could. That’s the traditional approach to customer service; an approach where lasting relationships, not quick profit, matter. That’s the traditional approach to customer service of which we’ll never lose sight.

Antony Rowe is based on two sites: Chippenham and Eastbourne.

Antony Rowe Chippenham

At our Chippenham site, we specialise in short to medium-run digital and sheetfed litho print production (generally, runs from 300 to 2000 copies) and various styles of binding. It’s always best to call to discuss your project with us so we can make an assessment of the best site to use - call Geoff Fisher on 07767 675262 or e-mail gfisher@cpi-group.co.uk
Our production facilities and breadth of experience in a wide variety of publishing markets (STM, academic, professional, tax, legal and trade) allows us to respond quickly, flexibly and pro-actively to highly specific requirements.

At our Eastbourne site, we specialise in single copy and ultra-short run digital printing and binding.
Our ability to produce just one copy of monochrome, two- or four- colour books, including tints, half tones and line drawings, provides customers with the only true, print-on-demand (POD) service available in Europe. Using our print-on-demand facilities, publishers are able to respond to every single customer order, to trial and test new products prior to mass production, and to ensure that titles remain in print indefinitely.
