Eurospan was launched in the mid-1960s to provide marketing and distribution capacity to a group of mid-sized academic and textbook publishers in the United States. In over sixty years of activity, Eurospan has successfully adapted to the changing needs and priorities of both its market and its publisher clients and is now the leading independent sales, marketing and distribution agency across the global market.

Geographically, Eurospan operates in the United Kingdom; European continent; Middle East and North Africa; Sub-Saharan Africa; Asia; Oceania; Latin America; and North America. To accommodate and offer specialized services, publishers are grouped into divisions: Academic and Professional; Education; Intergovernmental Organizations; Medicine and health; scientific technology; and University Publishers.

Eurospan's structure allows them to provide the highest quality marketing services with maximum reach. The increasingly globalized supply chain is managed by seamlessly integrating sales management and agency networks with marketing service. This model allows for the provision of very specific and targeted services to both clients and publishers, while benefiting from the scale and reach that Eurospan offers. Having a fully integrated distribution service ensures that customers receive their deliveries accurately, quickly and safely. Their service is global with built-in systems support for major clients and individual jurisdictions.
