HERTIG+Co

What HERTIG+Co does

HERTIG+Co is a privately held Swiss company headquartered in Lyss, Switzerland, providing digital printing and consulting services. Founded in 1906, the firm operates with 11-50 employees and is registered at Hauptstrasse 13, 3250 Lyss. The available firmographic data describes a small, locally focused operation; no product-level detail, pricing model, or customer segmentation is disclosed independently of related entities.

The contact of record for HERTIG+Co is Martin Hegglin (Head of Sales and Marketing), using a merkurmedien.ch email address. The Lyss address coincides with one of eight consultation offices operated by merkur medien ag, a larger Swiss full-service print, creative, and digital group (founded 1923, 180 employees, headquarters in Langenthal) that offers offset printing, digital printing, coldset roll offset, creative services, and WordPress web development. This overlap suggests HERTIG+Co functions as a local consultation and service point within the merkur group's broader Swiss footprint, which spans Geneva, Bern, Basel, Chur, St. Gallen, Lausanne, and additional cities. However, the input data does not specify HERTIG+Co's independent revenue, customer count, product mix, or growth profile separate from the parent network.

HERTIG+Co's go-to-market is not separately described; given the small size and the apparent partnership with the merkur group's sales-led, quote-based distribution model (personal consultation, centralized production, no e-commerce for standard products), it is reasonable to infer a relationship-driven, B2B local services model. Key data gaps include revenue, customer concentration, hiring trends, financial ownership, and any standalone strategic initiatives.
