Bookfactory nominated for the Marketing Trophy 2006

The Bookfactory photo book project convinced the jury. Bookfactory, which belongs to the well-known bookbindery Burkhardt (BUBU), was nominated from among numerous entries for the award ceremony on March 14, 2006 at the KKL in Lucerne. The trophy, organized by Swiss Marketing, honors market achievements that are exemplary for the Swiss economy, and Bookfactory is the first bookbindery to be nominated for the coveted marketing prize. Bookfactory, which has been offering individual photo books since fall 2004, is holding its own very well in the highly competitive photo book market and has been able to distinguish itself as the Swiss market leader to this day. This is reflected in the pleasing turnover as well as the rapidly increasing production volumes. At peak times, over 1,000 individual photo books are produced in Mönchaltorf every day. The success of the Bookfactory is no coincidence: by consistently applying the book-on-demand process, the Bookfactory can produce individual copies efficiently and cost-effectively, which were previously only produced in complex and expensive book productions. BUBU has had know-how in the area of single book production since 1993, but it was only with the investment made three years ago in the Bookmaster book production line that
the basis for the industrial production of individual books. BUBU's innovative strength and creativity are further recipes for success. The bookbindery is known for special solutions, good quality and competent advice. Thanks to constant innovation, new business models and products have been brought to market time and again. For example, the "discboard" CD holder was patented worldwide at the end of the 1990s and the production of photo books was launched two years ago. In addition, there is the consistent market development in order to track down those services that are desired in the market of tomorrow. In addition to photo books, which are mainly used by private individuals, Bookfactory has already produced several special products for companies (e.g. event books, party books). Further innovative products and services for the book-on-demand sector are planned. In the medium term, the website www.bookfactory.ch will be expanded into a portal for a wide range of print-on-demand products.
