swissQprint celebrates 15 years in business

The Swiss developer and producer of high-end large-format printers is celebrating its 15th anniversary. What began as a six-man operation has since blossomed into an internationally active company.

In September 2007 founders Reto Eicher, Roland Fetting and Hansjörg Untersander founded swissQprint, and four other staff, including current CEO, Kilian Hintermann. The following year, during the global financial crisis, the team launched the first swissQprint flatbed printer.

Today’s product range comprises eight models: six flatbed and two roll to roll printers. More than 1600 swissQprint machines are in operation worldwide. Sales and service are handled by six subsidiaries in concert with over 30 distribution partners around the globe. Development and production of the machines stays seated in Switzerland. Company headquarters also recently began managing sales to the Swiss home market.

Now employing almost 200 people worldwide, the company has offices in Kriessern, Switzerland, and subsidiaries in Germany, Spain, Belgium, the United Kingdom, the USA and Japan.

SwissQprint is distributed in Australia by Pozitive.
