We are pleased to announce a new partnership: effective May 1, 2023, Longleaf Services will provide fulfillment and distribution services and begin shipping orders for the University Press of Kansas. We’re excited to make this transition; though our warehouse has long been an excellent resource, this move aligns us with our university press peers and today’s marketplace and helps to ensure UPK’s successful future.
“The University Press of Kansas is very excited to partner with Longleaf Services and is confident that this collaboration will enhance the efficiency of our operations through economies of scale and lower operating costs,” explains Michael Haddock, as interim faculty director. “This move will increase our competitiveness in the university press marketplace and will bring the high quality scholarly publishing reputation of the University Press of Kansas to a much broader audience.”
