Our network
The landscape our standards are built for
PLEXO’s accreditation is written for institutions at every scale of the book trade — from national deposit libraries and university presses to independent licensed bookshops and regional exhibition organisers.
Global reach
A trade that crosses every border
Books move between publishers, fairs, distributors and libraries across continents. PLEXO's accreditation travels with the institutions that handle them.
