Druckerei Rindt

What Druckerei Rindt does

Druckerei Rindt GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned commercial printing company headquartered in Fulda, Germany, founded in 1931 and operating under a GmbH & Co. KG structure. The company specializes in sheet-fed offset (Bogenoffset) printing alongside digital printing, bookbinding/finishing, and integrated shipping, delivering what it describes as a 'Mehrwertdruckerei' (added-value printer) service for technically demanding and time-critical print jobs.

Its core production assets are capital-intensive and modern: a Koenig & Bauer Rapida 106 (installed 2019 in the largest single investment in company history) with eight printing units, sheet reversal, and a nine-color coating tower; a Heidelberg Versafire LV five-color digital press (installed 2024) for short-run and personalized work; PSO-compliant proof systems; and chemistry-free AGFA CTP plate development. The company holds Blauer Engel, FSC, PEFC, ISO 50001, PSO, and ClimatePartner certifications, plus a patented virus-reducing special varnish.

Rindt sells on a project-based, quote-driven model with assigned account managers guiding each client through prepress, production, and delivery. Customer segments include enterprise accounts (described as 'most of the large German commercial banks' and 'numerous DAX companies'), pharmaceutical, automotive, logistics, healthcare, media, tourism, publishing, and insurance clients, plus dedicated vertical offerings for opticians (customer folders, eyeglass passports, vision profiles) and bakeries (banderoles, menus, table displays, vouchers). Distribution is direct via inside sales and field sales representatives, with no third-party channel intermediaries.

Broad incumbents

• FLYERALARM: Major German commercial and online printer with wide offset and digital capacity. Competes across the SMB and mid-market print spectrum and on categories like flyers, brochures, business cards and packaging components that overlap with Rindt's offset offering.
• CEWE Stiftung (CEWE Print): European printing and photo printing group with significant commercial offset operations. Overlaps with Rindt on commercial offset printing, prepress and finishing services for enterprise and consumer customers.
• Onlineprinters (Onlineprinters GmbH): Largest Germany-based online commercial printer with broad product portfolio across offset and digital.
