What SPGPrints does

SPGPrints B.V. is a Dutch privately held industrial printing technology company founded in 1948 and headquartered in Boxmeer/Eindhoven, Netherlands. The company invented rotary screen printing in 1963 and pioneered digital textile printing in 1991, holding over 300 patents globally and operating across more than 100 countries with 1001-5000 employees. Its core offering centers on the proprietary RSI (Rotary Screen Integration) Line — a continuous rotary printing module — complemented by electroformed nickel rotary screens, digital textile printers, laser engraving and YTTRIUM laser exposure pre-press equipment, certified screens for printed electronics (Pyrite), and energy-efficient non-woven screens (Jade).

The company monetizes through a multi-stream revenue model: capital equipment sales (rotary screen machines, digital textile printers, RSI units, laser engravers), recurring consumables (rotary screens, digital textile inks, certified functional screens), professional services (installation, maintenance, validation, training), custom screen manufacturing, and a Production-as-a-Service offering for low-volume trial production. GTM is direct enterprise sales with regional specialist teams providing consultative selling and proof-of-concept demonstrations.

SPGPrints serves seven primary verticals: textile and apparel manufacturers, label printers, healthcare and medical device manufacturers (including diabetic test strips and COVID-19 testing strips, where it produces over 2.5 billion strips annually), printed electronics manufacturers, security and banknote printers, non-woven fabric producers, and clean energy companies. Strategic partnerships with Henkel, DuPont, Epishine, Copprint, and PrintCB anchor its position in the printed electronics ecosystem, while production volume signals (600,000 sheet screen lifetimes, 99%+ yields, 100-micrometer register accuracy) indicate strong operational depth in precision manufacturing.
