What AGE does

AGE Srl is an Italian privately held graphic arts and printing company headquartered in Pomezia (Rome), operating for over 30 years with 80+ employees working 3 shifts across a 24/7 production schedule. The company runs an integrated production cycle spanning prepress, offset printing (12 Heidelberg SpeedMaster presses at 800,000-900,000 sheets/day), digital printing, web/rotary printing (4 rotaries at 50,000 copies/hour and 600M+ rotations/year), bookbinding (2 automated lines at 40,000 signatures/hour), cartotecnica (paper conversion), and quality control. Beyond core printing, AGE extends into adjacent services: a publishing house with ISBN assignment and international distribution, graphic design and infographics, website development and web marketing (SEO, AdWords, social), trade show and event services, direct mailing with barcode-driven envelope-matching, and a 380-vehicle green fleet with refrigerated trucks across 15,000+ sqm of warehousing for nationwide Italian distribution. The business is certified to UNI-EN-ISO 9001:2015 and holds ATP and ATF Class 4F authorizations for regulated goods transport.

AGE monetizes through transactional unit pricing on print runs (e.g., flyers, brochures, business cards with publicly disclosed 50-70% promotional discounts), one-time fees for web design packages (€399-€799), and project-based professional services for design, publishing, logistics, mailing, and event production. Customer segmentation is horizontal across four primary segments: Italian SMEs (PMI) served via dedicated offer pages, the publishing industry (publishers and self-publishing authors), trade show and event organizers, and large distribution / GDO clients including temperature-controlled goods distributors and paper groups. Go-to-market combines direct sales-led engagement through website quote forms, a self-service e-commerce storefront with shopping cart, email newsletters (Mailchimp), and SEO/SEM-driven web traffic. Distribution to clients is wholly domestic Italy, executed primarily through AGE's own fleet.

Operationally the company is vertically integrated to a degree unusual for Italian commercial printers: it owns production equipment, binding lines, mailing/insertion technology, warehousing, and transportation under one corporate roof, enabling single-order management across the full creative-to-delivery workflow. The company holds no disclosed external funding, no subsidiaries, no M&A history, and no publicly disclosed ownership, revenue, or leadership team information — it operates as an Srl under Italian law with an active website and ongoing service operations across 15+ service categories.
