Vogt Schild Druck

What Vogt Schild Druck does

Vogt-Schild Druck AG is a Swiss industrial printing company headquartered in Derendingen and operating as a subsidiary of CH Media Print AG. Founded in 1907, the company runs three production sites across Switzerland — Aarau and St. Gallen under CH Media Print AG, and Derendingen under Vogt-Schild Druck AG — and positions itself as the Swiss market leader in the industrial production of high-quality newspapers, magazines, and advertising print materials. Its core product portfolio spans newspapers, magazines and journals, catalogs and brochures, image prints, and advertising flyers and prospectuses, sold on a quote-based B2B basis to Swiss publishers and corporate clients.

The company's underlying production technology combines roll offset printing (Rollenoffsetdruck) for high-volume newspaper and magazine runs, sheet-fed offset (Bogenoffsetdruck) for premium commercial work, digital printing for shorter runs and personalization, and hybrid printing systems that integrate offset and digital. It has also adopted LED-High-Volume printing for energy-efficient production, and operates in-house finishing (binding, folding, cutting, packaging), a paper range, and logistics and transport solutions. The technology stack is functionally broad within industrial print but does not include disclosed AI, automation platforms, or proprietary software beyond standard prepress and publishing tools.

Vogt-Schild Druck's business model is project-based B2B enterprise sales with no public pricing. Revenue is generated through two streams: transactional print production services (per-job pricing on volume, paper, and finishing) and bundled publishing services that include consulting, graphic design, prepress, language services, and publishing logistics. The company has extended into cross-media publishing, e-paper, web portals, and data management as adjacent offerings, and has introduced a workspace rental line at its Derendingen facility. Marketing is conducted through its website (chmediaprint.ch), LinkedIn, Facebook, newsletter subscriptions, the "This is Print" industry initiative, and direct quote requests; distribution is direct enterprise sales with no reseller network. Sustainability is positioned as a procurement-relevant differentiator via myclimate carbon-offset certification and a WWF Switzerland partnership, alongside the "Printed in Switzerland" origin label.
