What Berryville Graphics does

Berryville Graphics, operating under the legal name BPG USA (also styled as Book Printing Group USA), is a US-based commercial book printing service provider and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bertelsmann Marketing Services, the diversified conglomerate arm of Bertelsmann. Founded in 1976 with the establishment of its Fairfield, Pennsylvania manufacturing site, the company has grown to a workforce of over 1,400 employees operating from multiple US locations including its Hicksville, New York headquarters at 840 South Broadway, the Fairfield manufacturing facility, and the Berryville production site.

The company's core offering is the printing and manufacture of books and book components, spanning fiction and non-fiction titles in one-color formats as well as four-color book components. Its production technology stack centers on industrial book printing equipment, most notably the recently deployed Bolero B9 digital production press at the Berryville facility (operational May 2026) and a new binder installation (November 2025) that strengthen digital production throughput. A complementary "Data Delivery and Specifications" service handles the ingestion of print-ready files and production specifications. Together these capabilities position the firm as a full-service book manufacturing partner rather than a pure printer.

Commercially, BPG USA operates a B2B enterprise field sales motion targeting book publishers and the broader publishing industry. Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven printing contracts, with no public pricing disclosure. The company does not publish revenue, has no venture or growth equity backing, and is funded and directed through its Bertelsmann Marketing Services parent. Its operating geography is exclusively the United States, and its strategic focus is on deepening digital print capability and capacity rather than on geographic or vertical diversification.
