What Taberg Media Group does

Taberg Media Group (TMG) is a privately held, family-owned Swedish communications group founded in 1954 by Lisa and Stig Lind in Taberg, now in its third generation of Lind family ownership with Mikael Lind serving as CEO. The company operates five regional offices across Sweden (Jönköping/Taberg, Stockholm, Malmö, Halmstad, Växjö) and offers integrated services across five verticals: Print (offset, digital, and fine art printing using HP Indigo and Epson SC-P9500 presses), Expo (event and retail display production), Profile (10,000+ branded merchandise items via an e-commerce shop), Creative (graphic design, web design, content, and advertising), and Solutions (Market Portal brand-asset platform, TMG Push postal address services, and programmatic advertising). Its revenue model combines transaction-based production and merchandise sales, professional services for creative and web work, and subscription elements within its Solutions software. The company serves a wide customer base from SMBs ordering through its webshop to enterprise accounts running multi-store marketing campaigns (e.g., Klarsynt with 100 optical stores, Emab with 13 annual campaigns, plus enterprise customers such as Polarn O. Pyret, Espresso House, Trek Bikes, and Alcro/Beckers). Strategically, TMG has consolidated 10+ historical regional acquisitions into a single brand since 2020 and is investing in digital platforms and sustainability-led product differentiation (notably being the first European graphic group to validate HP Indigo PFAS-free ink in 2024).
