Matti Technology

What Matti Technology does

Matti Technology AG is a privately held Swiss industrial inkjet systems integrator founded in 1995 and headquartered in Sulgen, Switzerland. The company designs, develops, prototypes, and manufactures turnkey digital inkjet presses and components — including digital presses, imprinting systems, pre- and post-processing equipment, drying technology (IR/NIR/UV/Hot-Air), inks, ink supply systems, printbars, and Digital Front End (DFE) software — organized around its proprietary Matti Digital Print Foundation platform. Operating under an OEM embedded business model, Matti works as a co-engineering partner to major digital printing equipment brands including Xerox, Kodak, Ricoh, Impika, Nipson, and Xeikon, who integrate Matti technology into their own branded products and sell through their global channels. The company maintains a manufacturing capacity of approximately 100 to 150 inkjet press units annually at its Sulgen facility.

The firm's revenue model blends hardware sales (digital inkjet presses and components), OEM co-engineering services (market analysis, product concept development, prototyping, serial production, lifecycle management), ink performance testing services through its in-house inkjet test lab, and equipment financing. Its go-to-market is sales-led with deep engineering consultation, supported by distribution partnerships (e.g., Rainbow Computer Technology for North America), trade show presence at major industry events (drupa, Future Print, Seiko Open Week), and joint development collaborations (e.g., Bielomatik for fully automated book production lines). The company emphasizes a "From Ink to Printer" methodology that begins with ink-substrate-drying optimization before printer design, and targets applications in graphic arts, book printing, transactional/transpromo printing, flexible packaging, folding cartons, corrugated, security printing (MICR), and emerging specialty verticals such as direct-to-object and decor printing. Matti is owned and led by CEO Thomas Amrein (who acquired the group in 2015) with a CSO (Martin Letzner, 2023) and Operations Manager (Markus Suhar, 2022); the group operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries Matti Engineering AG (manufacturing) and Matti Orion Solutions (pre/post-processing equipment).
