As from today onwards, PEPC Worldwide daily distributes the latest editions of 87 newspapers from 40 countries to high traffic, international venues throughout the world. Last week, PEPC signed global distribution agreements with 10 leading newspaper publishers. Joining PEPC’s Publishers Network are Clarin, Olé and La Razon from Argentina, Tarun Bharat and Rajasthan Patrika from India, Russian Komsomolskaya Pravda (both the daily and the weekly edition), US El Nuevo Herald and the Philadelphia Inquirer. Most recently PEPC contracted Le Figaro, the first French newspaper made available on a daily basis on the PRESSPOiNT™, PEPC’s self-contained interactive kiosk.
PEPC, acronym for Publishers Electronic Printing Concept, receives the digital newspaper files from participating publishers as soon as the newspaper is ready to be printed in the country of origin. PEPC transfers the newspapers via satellite uplink and multicast satellite transmission to PRESSPOiNTS and receiving locations around the world. By distributing the news electronically rather than shipping it in printed form, PEPC’s offers international travelers access to their newspapers only minutes after the printing process in the country of origin has started. When traveling the US, European and Asian travelers can print their hometown newspapers 5 to 8 hours before they could even buy them in their countries of origin.
PEPC’s rapidly growing Publishing Network represents leading publications such as the International Herald Tribune, USA TODAY (USA), the Los Angeles Times (USA), Sports Nippon (Japan), El Pais (Spain), Il Giornale (Italy), Die Welt (Germany) and El Economista (Mexico).

As from today onwards the latest edition of Al Jazirah, Saudi Arabia’s most influential newspaper, will be globally available on the PRESSPOiNT™*, PEPC’s on demand newspaper kiosk. With the addition of Al Jazirah, the PRESSPOiNT™* currently offers the latest edition of 59 newspapers from 31 countries.

Before the end of the year, PEPC expects to publish 70 national and international newspapers on its global network of PRESSPOiNTS
The co-operation with PEPC offers Al-Jazirah Corporation the opportunity to deliver the exact content of their newspaper to any corner of the world. Al-Jazirah currently has a daily circulation of approximately hundred thousand copies. Besides international news, Saudi Arabia’s most popular newspaper pays extensive attention to Arab and local news. “International research shows that the latter is valued the most by many newspaper readers. By making their newspaper available on the PRESSPOiNT™*, Al-Jazirah Corporation is able to service their loyal readers no matter where they are”, says Raoul Maphar, CEO PEPC Worldwide.
With its innovative “distribute-then-print”-model, PEPC offers national and international publishers easy access to new international markets without additional distribution and printing costs. By distributing the news electronically rather than shipping it in printed form, PEPC is even able to offer publishers a royalty payment for each copy sold. After joining PEPC’s publishing base, publishers send their digital newspaper files, via the Internet, to PEPC’s Control Center in the Netherlands. After a check – to insure printability of the files- PEPC transfers the global editions of the newspapers via satellite uplink and multicast satellite transmission to PRESSPOiNTS* and receiving locations around the world.
PEPC installs PRESSPOiNTS* at upscale venues such as hotels, convention centers, cruise lines, international airports and other high traffic locations where international travelers congregate. PEPC has currently installed PRESSPOiNTS* in England, Egypt, India, Indonesia, The Netherlands, The Netherlands Antilles, Thailand and The US.
