What Serigraf does

Serigraf Ltd. is a privately held B2B distributor of printing supplies and consumables, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. Founded in 1978, the company has operated for over 46 years serving printing and customization businesses across Ireland. Its product portfolio spans six core decoration technologies: screen printing (frames, mesh, emulsions, inks, squeegees, equipment), heat transfer (DTF supplies, heat presses, vinyl plotters, white toner printers), dye sublimation (Sawgrass and Epson printers, inks, paper, heat presses), embroidery (exclusive Irish distributor of Madeira threads and accessories), pad printing (inks, plates, equipment), and sand-carving (photo resist films). The company also offers value-added services including screen remeshing, transfer printing, and custom badge production.

Serigraf operates a B2B distribution model selling hardware, consumables, and accessories through an e-commerce storefront at serigraf.com and direct account-based sales. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires account setup. The company targets printing and customization businesses — garment decorators, promotional product companies, textile printers, and embroidery operators — primarily in Ireland, with a claimed global reach. Its go-to-market combines a comprehensive product catalog website, organic social media (Facebook, YouTube), and direct phone/email sales. The exclusive Madeira embroidery distributorship is the company's primary differentiator, providing unique access to a premium 100-year-old thread brand within the Irish market.

The company is small-scale (11-50 employees), founder- or family-owned with no institutional investment, parent company, or subsidiary structure disclosed. It has no public funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership changes, or regulatory actions on record. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and there are no signals of rapid growth or technology-driven differentiation.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Sefar Group: Leading global manufacturer of precision mesh fabrics and screen-printing screens; comparable in the screen-printing supply chain, serving the same screen-printer customers with frames, mesh, and prepress solutions.
• Stahls' (Transfer Express): Large US-based heat-transfer and garment-decoration supplies distributor; comparable in heat transfer, DTF, and custom badge categories that overlap with Serigraf's core product lines.
• Sawgrass Technologies: Specialist manufacturer of sublimation printers, inks, and software whose products Serigraf resells; comparable in the dye-sublimation category and a key upstream partner for Serigraf's sublimation line.
• Coats Group: Global industrial thread and embroidery supplies manufacturer; comparable in the embroidery-thread category where Madeira competes, though Coats operates at industrial scale far beyond Serigraf's niche.
• Nazdar Ink Technologies: Global manufacturer and distributor of screen printing and digital inks; comparable in supplying ink consumables to the same decorator/customer segment, but operates at much larger scale across multiple print technologies.

Direct peers

• Gunold GmbH: Manufacturer and supplier of embroidery threads, backings, and stabilizers; a competing premium embroidery-supply brand that could threaten Serigraf's Madeira exclusivity if Madeira's terms were to change.
• Texpak: UK/Ireland supplier of screen printing, pad printing, and sublimation consumables; directly comparable B2B distribution model across overlapping product categories and customer base of garment decorators.
• Screen Print World: UK-based screen printing supplies retailer; comparable small B2B distributor serving hobbyists and small commercial printers in the same geographic region with overlapping consumables.

Emerging players

• RK Print Coat Instruments: UK-based manufacturer of screen printing and coating equipment; comparable in supplying print-production equipment and consumables, though focused more on lab/industrial rather than garment-decorator customers.

Others

• Madeira Threads: Manufacturer whose embroidery threads Serigraf distributes exclusively in Ireland; an upstream supplier/partner rather than competitor, but the most relevant peer for benchmarking embroidery-thread market dynamics.
