| Submission declined on 19 December 2024 by Suitskvarts (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Suitskvarts 3 months ago. | |

Bibliotheca is a multinational library technology company headquartered in Lake Elmo, Minnesota, United States.[1]. It develops self-service, extended access, communication, security, automated material handling, and mobile solutions for public, academic, and private libraries worldwide.
History
[edit]The company was formed in 2011 through the merger of three independent library technology firms: Bibliotheca (Switzerland), Intellident (United Kingdom), and Integrated Technology Group, ITG (North America)[2][3].
In 2012, the group acquired Trion AG, a European provider of automated material handling solutions[4][5]. In 2015, Bibliotheca acquired the Library Systems division of 3M, integrating its self-service and security solutions into its product portfolio[6][7].
In 2024, Bibliotheca sold its cloudLibrary platform to OCLC, a nonprofit library technology cooperative[8].
Structure
[edit]Bibliotheca operates in multiple regions, including North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. Bibliotheca is financially backed by One Equity Partners, a division of JP Morgan Chase & Co[9].
In 2025, Bibliotheca signed a lease for a new facility in Lake Elmo, Minnesota, consolidating shipping and office operations into a 32,000-square-foot space[1].
The company has regional offices in the United States, Canada, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. Additionally, Bibliotheca partners with distributors across Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa to support library technology implementations[10].
