What Drukkerij Aeroprint does

Aeroprint B.V. is a privately held Dutch commercial printing company founded in 1968 by Ruud Koerts at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, now headquartered in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel. The company operates a full-service print production stack combining offset printing on multiple Heidelberg presses (XL75, CD102, SM52), digital printing on an HP Indigo 7900 with a seven-spot ink cabinet (white, transparent, fluorescent pink, Pantone), traditional Heidelberg Windmill and Cylinder letterpress equipment from 1964, Konica Minolta Bizhub 1100 production print, and Epson large format output — supported by an in-house prepress studio, ISO 12647-2 color management measuring 160,000 spots per sheet, custom ICC profiles for specialty papers, and finishing capabilities including hot foil, embossing, spot-UV, raised print, and Singer-sewn binding.

The company serves B2B clients through a quotation-based sales model, with customers requesting project quotes via the company website. It operates four branded divisions covering distinct verticals: the core Aeroprint brand for premium offset and digital work (books, brochures, packaging, wallpapers, oversized publications); TerraPrint for the green industry/horticulture (plant labels, pins, pot covers); BakkerBaarn (acquired 2019) for corporate printed products, mailing, print automation, and web-to-print portals; and Smit for healthcare and laboratory forms including OMR/OCR work. Pricing is project-specific with no public rate cards; revenue is generated through one-time project contracts plus specialty finishing services. Distribution is global via two major worldwide shipping partners, supported by a 1,500+ pallet warehouse at the Ouderkerk aan de Amstel facility. The company holds ISO 14001:2015, FSC, and ISO 12647-2 certifications and operates with a headcount in the 11-50 range under continued Koerts family ownership.

Direct peers

• Heijdens Grafische Dienstverlening: Dutch commercial printer offering offset, digital, and large-format print for B2B clients — competes with Aeroprint on similar mid-volume high-quality print jobs in the Netherlands.
• NPN Drukkers: Netherlands-based commercial and book printer serving B2B clients with offset and digital production — directly overlaps with Aeroprint's books, brochures, and corporate print work.
• Koninklijke Drukkerij EM. de Jong: Dutch royal commercial printer offering offset, digital, and finishing with warehousing and direct mail — comparable mid-sized European peer with end-to-end fulfillment similar to Aeroprint.
• Roto Smeets: Long-standing Dutch commercial printing company offering offset, digital, and finishing services for publishers, agencies, and corporate clients — comparable scale and service breadth to Aeroprint's core commercial offering.
• Müller Druck und Verlag: German commercial printer producing magazines, books, and catalogs with offset and digital technologies — comparable European mid-market peer serving publishers and brand marketers.

Broad incumbents

• Cimpress: Global mass-customization printing platform (parent of Vistaprint, national-pen, etc.) serving SMBs and enterprises — broader incumbent across adjacent print categories rather than Aeroprint's premium niche.
• Canon Production Printing: Division of Canon producing commercial print hardware ( Océ legacy) and managed print services — overlaps through commercial production printing at large enterprise scale rather than the specialist boutique niche.
• Quad/Graphics: Large publicly listed US commercial printer offering marketing and print services at scale — illustrates the much larger incumbent end of the spectrum in which Aeroprint operates.

Others

• Stora Enso: Nordic forest-products group supplying paper, packaging boards, and biomaterials into the print supply chain — adjacent ecosystem participant as a major paper supplier to European printers like Aeroprint.
• HP Inc. Manufacturer of the HP Indigo 7900 digital press that Aeroprint operates — enabling technology supplier rather than competitor, but a key vendor whose product roadmap directly affects Aeroprint's capabilities.
