Langoon partners up with Bokinfo
The multilingual book distribution company Langoon AB has partnered with Bokinfo, the largest book metadata distributor in the Nordics.

By integrating with the Langoon API, the entire Langoon assortment of multilingual literature will now be available to Bokinfo for distribution into its extensive network of booksellers across the Nordic region.
”We are happy to collaborating with such a dedicated partner and to now bringing our diverse literature to a much larger audience”, says Co-Founder and CEO Peter de Michiel. ”There are 1.3 million international migrants in Sweden alone and until now, literature in their native spoken language has been largely inaccessible. This partnership will make our multilingual books available to millions of such consumers through industry-leading resellers like Adlibris, Bokus and Akademibokhanden”.
"Most of the non-Nordic books in our database are in English today. This opens opportunities for the bookshops to find more books in other languages, through us", says Christer Perslöv, Bokinfo.
