Thomas Klise/Crimson Multimedia

A premier publishing and distribution company to schools and public libraries nationwide for 40 years.

Thomas S. Klise Company was founded in Peoria, IL in 1966. Our earliest productions were filmstrips for teachers and students of religious education, literature, and social studies. Soon, we were producing video programs on a wide range of subjects. We then added reproducible books, transparency programs, audio kits, and software to our offerings.

Although our roots are in publishing, Thomas Klise/Crimson Multimedia has emerged as a leading distributor of audiobooks, CD-ROM software, DVRs, DVD movies, console games, and teacher materials from a host of publishers including A&E, Alfred Publishing, Atari, Disney, DK Multimedia, Electronic Arts, Gateway Learning, Reading Rainbow, Keystone, Riverdeep, Sunburst, Tom Snyder, Topics, and many, many more. All programs are carefully selected for appropriate school/library content.

In addition to our first-rate distribution operation, Thomas Klise/Crimson Multimedia is well-known for distinctive custom-packaging. Using proprietary software, we can custom-package materials to be protected when they circulate. Existing collections of audiobooks, DVDs, VHS, CD, and DVD titles can also be repackaged. Library shelves are more uniform, organized, and patron-friendly when media collections are processed by Thomas Klise/Crimson Multimedia. If your library prefers to process in-house, we provide a variety of cases – all shapes and sizes! – at extremely affordable prices.
