What All Prints does

All Prints Distributors & Publishers is a UAE-founded (1968) private distributor that supplies textbooks, educational resources, and technology products to schools and universities across the Arab world. The company operates three integrated lines: (1) B2B distribution of textbooks and educational materials from more than 550 international publishers—including Pearson, Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Macmillan, Cengage, HarperCollins, Hodder, and Scholastic—to K-12 schools and universities across the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Jordan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon; (2) an Apple Authorised Education Specialist division via apple.allprints.ae offering iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and AirPods to educational institutions bundled with Jamf/Mosyle MDM, Canvas LMS integration, Classlink single sign-on, and HMH curriculum content; and (3) a B2C e-commerce platform at shop.allprints.ae selling Arabic, English, and French books, stationery, toys, and Apple consumer devices with free delivery above 100 AED.

The business generates revenue primarily through distribution markups on publisher-sourced textbooks and educational materials (transaction-based), hardware reselling of Apple products to both institutions and consumers, and ancillary professional services revenue from teacher training workshops coordinated with international publishers. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with dedicated customer service agents assigned per institutional account, a physical bookstore at the American University in Dubai, and direct-to-consumer e-commerce. B2B contracts are quote-based and negotiated; B2C pricing is unit-based.

Operationally, All Prints runs an HQ in Abu Dhabi (Manarat Al Saadiyat), offices in Sharjah, a distribution warehouse and Apple Education office in Dubai Investments Park, a Dubai bookstore, plus offices in Doha (Qatar), Kuwait (via Gulf Union partner), and Beirut (Lebanon), supported by shipping agents and branch offices in the UK, USA, and France to handle inbound freight. The company serves more than 300 institutional clients and 25+ school groups including GEMS Education, Nord Anglia, SABIS, American School of Dubai, British School Al Khubairat, Repton, and Foremarke. Managing Director Nasouh Al Ameen leads the owner-operated private firm, which received a 2016 award from UAE Minister of Education H.E. Hussain Ibrahim Al Hammadi for ongoing support to the Ministry of Education.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Amazon: Global e-commerce platform with a UAE storefront selling books, stationery, and Apple products. Competes with All Prints' B2C e-commerce shop but lacks specialised school procurement and Apple Education Specialist positioning.
• Noon: UAE/Middle East e-commerce platform selling books, stationery, and consumer electronics. Broad incumbent competing with All Prints' B2C channel but not specialising in education procurement.
• Oxford University Press: Global academic publisher with direct regional offices in the Gulf. Listed as a core partner of All Prints but also a potential disintermediator as publishers expand direct sales to schools.
• Pearson Education: World's largest learning company with regional teams distributing direct to Gulf institutions. Long-standing partner of All Prints but also a potential competitor as publishers expand direct B2B channels.

Direct peers

• Axiom Telecom: UAE-based Apple distributor and authorised reseller with broad retail presence. Competes with All Prints on Apple Education and consumer Apple device distribution across the Gulf.
• Anglo-Educational: UK-based educational books and supplies distributor serving international schools, including in the Middle East. Most similar to All Prints on B2B school procurement and international curriculum sourcing.
• iSTYLE: Apple Premium Reseller in UAE with multiple retail locations. Directly competes with All Prints' Apple Authorised Education Specialist division for Apple device sales to consumers and enterprises in the region.
• Jarir Bookstore: Saudi-listed bookstore and electronics chain with strong GCC footprint. Comparable mix of books, stationery, and consumer electronics (including Apple resale) serves the same Arab-world consumers and competes for similar B2C and education wallets.
• Magrudy's: Long-established UAE bookstore chain in Dubai, with retail outlets and online presence. Overlaps with All Prints' B2C retail and book distribution to schools across the same UAE consumer base.
• Kinokuniya Dubai: Japanese bookstore chain with a major Dubai Mall location. Comparable in B2C retail book sales and curating international publisher inventory for the Gulf consumer market.
