Our Story

Hachette Book Group US Distribution is a division of Hachette Book Group. We are a global business and one of the largest publishing groups in the USA, delivering books and other media worldwide to customers from our facilities in Lebanon, Indiana.

Lebanon has been our home since 1996, when we moved from Waltham, Massachusetts to a more central location. Since that time, our footprint has grown to over 2 million square feet across 3 buildings. This relocation alone allowed us to reduce the average distribution time by 50%, significantly enhancing our efficiency. Our outstanding performance consistently delivers complete satisfaction to our publishers, customers, and authors — building trust, loyalty, and lasting partnerships.
