About Us

ENTREPOT PUBLISHING

Entrepot Publishing Sdn Bhd [1095511-M] was established in Penang, Malaysia, in early 2015. Its core business is the distribution and publication of fine books on a variety of subjects, with a concentration on Southeast Asia. Entrepot's founders, being authors themselves, have a deep understanding of the essential ingredients that result in fine books: thorough research, quality writing, editorial excellence, superb graphics and world-class printing. Entrepot Publishing is also keen to nurture local talent in such fields. Our ethos is simple - quality service and a quality product.
