Our company has a very long and very successful history. Founded in 1830 as a retailer of manufactured goods, the company capitalized on its expertise in printing obtained from the later “Kattunfabrik”, a fabric print shop, and progressed to become an international manufacturer of printing inks. The advantages of a family-run company are still in evidence today: independence and objectivity, flexibility and competence, commitment and reliability. These are reflected in our corporate values: quality, responsibility, open-mindedness, foresight and dedication. This also gives rise to the special “Siegwerk spirit”, which forms a basis for successful collaboration with our customers – worldwide.
It can rightly be argued that values alone do not give rise to success. This is true, for Siegwerk can also demonstrate practically oriented expert knowledge, highly competent advice, and the ability to think and act in a farsighted manner. This enables us to afford our partners considerable competitive advantages and to give them a significant head start. Of course, people – the “Siegworkers” – also make a major contribution to the difference. Fast, flexible and, above all, unbureaucratic, they help when necessary.
