What eddy.se AB does

eddy.se AB is a Swedish private limited company headquartered in Visby, Sweden, providing book and journal production services for academic publishers. The company collaborates with publishers (Förlag), foundations (Stiftelser), and educational institutions (Lärosäten) to produce journals and books in printed, e-book, and database formats, covering the full publishing chain from publication planning through to finished digital solutions or sold books. Customers can engage the company for individual production moments or full end-to-end publishing support.

The company's product portfolio is anchored by its core production services and complemented by a customer-facing project management portal at projekt.eddy.se that hosts self-service tools including an EAN-13 barcode generator (supporting PDF, SVG, PNG, JPG with configurable DPI and width) and a spine width calculator (taking page count, cover type, paper selection across multiple stocks such as Munken, Edixion, G-print, and Zoom, and binding preferences). A separate Särtryck reprint service allows customers to download article reprints via an email-based access link mechanism. Finished publications are distributed through the company's own bookshop at bokorder.se.

Commercially, eddy.se AB operates a sales-led, contact-based model through key account managers including Stephan Carlsson (project management) and Edvin Weijmers (customer service, logistics, and programming). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled per engagement. The team covers project management, editorial and production, graphic design, warehouse operations, and order handling, suggesting a vertically integrated production operation. The company is privately held, discloses no parent or investor structure, has no public financials, and operates from two Visby addresses (Skarphällsgatan 13 and Specksrum 5).
