Promer

What Promer does

Promer (legally S.C. Galaxy Design S.R.L., trading as PROMER® Group) is a privately-held Romanian B2B company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Iași. It sells custom-printed and promotional products — including business cards, brochures, calendars, agendas, badges, mugs, textiles, large-format banners, and exhibition systems — exclusively to legal entities (persoane juridice) across Romania. Production is vertically integrated, covering digital and offset printing, UV LED color printing, sublimation, and finishing (lamination, embossing, spot UV), with an in-house graphic design service bundled free of charge. The go-to-market combines a self-service e-commerce storefront (promer.ro) with consultant-assisted inside sales, supported by an Urgent Cargus courier partnership; the minimum order value is 300 RON + VAT.

Revenue mechanics are transactional and unit-based across six core categories — digital/offset print, promotional products, personalized textiles, large-format print, exhibition systems, and bundled event/year-end packages — with eco-friendly variants such as stone-dust paper agendas positioned for sustainability-oriented buyers. In 2020 the company expanded into online communication services (positioning itself as a 'One Stop Marketing' agency) and added an independent-authors book distribution line. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, operates with 11-50 employees, and uses a multi-channel marketing mix including content marketing, social media, email, SEO, and event participation (notably BNE Iași). The PROMER® mark is a registered trademark and the company cites a 20-year operating history and a 201% quality guarantee as core differentiators.
