Blase Siebdruck

What Blase Siebdruck does

Blase Siebdruck GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held, family-owned industrial screen and digital printing company headquartered in Lübbecke, Germany, operating on approximately 40,000 square meters of production space with 250 employees. Founded by Werner and Marlies Blase in the 1960s and now in its second generation of leadership under Britta Struckmeier and Thomas Struckmeier, the company is described as one of the five largest screen printing companies in Germany and has publicly stated the ambition to rank among the top five in Europe. The legal entity is registered as a German limited partnership (GmbH & Co. KG) under RG Bad Oeynhausen HRA5568, with no parent company or institutional investors identified in the source material; the BLASE corporate group includes an adjacent subsidiary, Blase Kommunikationstechnik, operating in communication technology.

The company's core product platform combines screen printing and digital printing across substrates including glass, acrylic glass, metal, plastic, and mirrors, supplemented by an in-house finishing stack: laser cutting, plotter cutting, embossing, laminating, Doming (3D polyurethane coating up to 1,700mm on semi-automatic lines), Noble Shape Advance (NSA) chrome-letter and 3D-logo production up to 6mm height, and wet-transfer (Nasstransfer) stickers. Production is vertically integrated from design development and prototyping through series production and warehousing. Customer verticals served include automotive OEMs and tier suppliers (with named relationships including Mercedes-Benz for interior decorative panels and Setra TC 500 for exterior lettering via Doming and NSA), logistics operators (Hapag-Lloyd and Hoyer for container and vehicle markings with up to 12-year outdoor durability), the bicycle and two-wheeler industry for decorative decals, industrial signage and labeling requiring temperature resistance from -50°C to +110°C, and glass/interior design (edge-lit PMMA, balustrades, glass heaters).

The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with dedicated account managers by vertical (Friedrich Kütemann for glass and digital printing; Marion Henkensiefken for technical/automotive and two-wheelers), supported by the corporate website and memberships in BVDM and the US-based SGIA. All orders are custom project-based quotes; no pricing is publicly disclosed and no app, software product, or API exists. Revenue is generated through one-time B2B contracts rather than subscriptions. The company holds DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and IATF16949 certifications continuously since 1996, and certified specialist waste management status (Entsorgungsfachbetrieb) since 2014, both of which serve as gating prerequisites for its automotive and industrial customer base.
