Salem Publishing, a division of Camarillo-based Salem Communications Corp. said it has agreed to acquire Xulon Press, a premier on-demand digital publisher of books targeting the Christian audience.
Xulon President and CEO, Tom Freiling, will join Nashville-based Salem Publishing as general manager of Xulon Press.
Print-on-demand employs digital technology whereby books are stored electronically and printed only as they are ordered. POD reduces the need for large inventory and warehousing and allows authors the opportunity to publish a work in minutes.
“This acquisition is an opportunity for Salem to diversify our core radio, Internet and magazine platform, yet continue to serve our niche,” said Jim Cumbee, president of Non-Broadcast Media for Salem Communications.
