From only typesetting to total unburdening with editorial services

“Crius Group combines professionalism with flexibility and clear communication!”

👉 Managing Director, Nienke Roelants, Leuven University Press

How the publishing of studybooks started the collaboration

Leuven University Press (UPL) faces a significant challenge each year with the publication of various studybooks. After all, the books must be ready for use on time, digitally and in print. To process these publications faster and more efficiently, UPL turned to Crius Group.

Need for a partner with experience in technology and fast delivery

Textbooks are often full of tables, mathematical formulas and graphs and it often takes a lot of work to get them published online and offline in time. “It was clear that we needed reliable expertise,” says Veerle De Laet, publishing director at UPL. “Making many pages in a short time, experience with complex content and technical support with digital publishing. Crius Group met our expectations in every way.”

Our typesetting team knew how to handle the many charts and tables in UPL's books and kept to the tight deadlines. Together with our technical specialists, UPL made the right choices for the online variants.

A big step forward and a collaboration that left us wanting more!

Typesetting and editorial services

At Crius Group we have been taking care of the layout of a number of UPL books for some time. We are increasingly taking the card of total unburdening. After a while, UPL chose to outsource a part of the coordinating editing to us:

Project management
Making corrections
Contacts with the author

That is just a selection of the tasks that come with this. As soon as the content of the manuscript is ready, our Crius Group team will do the rest.

Why UPL chooses Crius Group again and again

UPL is committed to growth and increasingly makes use of our experts and specific knowledge. That confidence gives us a huge boost.

“What started as an ad hoc project has grown into a beautiful and structural collaboration from which we still reap the benefits every day,” concludes Nienke.
