Reproflex Scandinavia

What Reproflex Scandinavia does

Reproflex Scandinavia A/S is a Danish privately held flexographic prepress and printing plate manufacturer headquartered in Vejle, Denmark, with additional production sites in Randers and Kolding (Denmark) and Lahti (Finland, added through the March 2025 acquisition of Lahden Graafinen). The firm operates the full graphic value chain for packaging — design, artwork, prepress, proofing, color management, and photopolymer flexo plate production — serving printing houses, brand owners, advertising agencies, and design producers, with most customers based in Scandinavia and direct exports to 18 other countries. Technically the business is built on Esko workflow software (ArtPro, WebCenter, WebFlex, Crystal/XPS screening), GMG OpenColor color management, Kodak Flexcel NX with SoftTone+, Dupont thermal and lams layer plates, and Digimarc digital watermarks; Reproflex holds Esko HD/XPS Crystal, Flint Flexo Expert, Kodak Flexcel NX, and Idealliance G7 certifications and is the only Scandinavian supplier operating two Esko Crystal systems.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services and plate sales priced on a project-by-project basis (no public pricing). The go-to-market is sales-led direct engagement, supported by a partner network of flexo machine manufacturers (Nilpeter, Flint Group, Bobst, Tresu, Daetwyler, Zecher) and industry bodies such as Emballageretur, with Remote Proofing infrastructure enabling cross-border service delivery. The company solves more than 35,000 packaging and label assignments annually and produces more than 30,000 m² of photopolymer plates across its four sites, employing roughly 80–90 staff. Ownership remains in the hands of founders and management of acquired entities, with CEO Thomas Borge Christensen (formerly of Reprocentret) leading a team that includes CFO Lars Aas Møller and CSO Henrik Lebeck Kofoed.

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Flint Group: Flint Group supplies flexo plates, inks, and sleeves that Reproflex uses and complements through its Flint Flexo Expert certification. Flint runs the Global Innovation Centre where Reproflex co-hosts workshops, making it a tightly adjacent peer in flexo consumables.
• Bobst: Bobst is a leading flexo and packaging press manufacturer whose Open House events Reproflex attends to track technology like Extended Color Gamut. Bobst sits downstream as a customer-adjacent peer and could extend upstream into prepress-adjacent services.
• Kodak: Kodak manufactures the Flexcel NX plates that Reproflex has produced since 2008. As the upstream technology owner in the same flexo plate value chain, Kodak is a structural peer even where it does not directly compete in services.
• Nilpeter: Nilpeter is a leading narrow-web flexo press manufacturer whose partner network includes Reproflex. As a key customer ecosystem node, Nilpeter is the broadest incumbent peer in the Scandinavian flexo supply chain.
• Asahi Photoproducts: Asahi is a global flexo plate manufacturer whose plates Reproflex produces under its Lams Layer Plates offering. Asahi competes for plate volumes that Reproflex might otherwise capture, making it a direct upstream/downstream peer.
• Esko: Esko (now part of Danaher) supplies the prepress software and Crystal/XPS plate systems that Reproflex runs. Esko is both supplier and partial substitute — in some markets it offers direct prepress and workflow services — making it the closest technology-ecosystem peer.
• DuPont Cyrel Solutions: DuPont supplies the thermal plates and solvent processing technology (Dupont Fast, Easy) that Reproflex uses to produce plates in under one hour. As a plate manufacturer and Reproflex's upstream supplier, DuPont is a broad incumbent in the same flexo ecosystem.

Emerging players

• AV Flexologic: AV Flexologic specializes in mounting systems, sleeves, and flexo plate-making accessories — adjacent to Reproflex's sleeves and plate mounting offerings. It targets the same narrow-web and wide-web flexo printer customer base with overlapping product categories.
• SPGPrints: SPGPrints supplies engraving and rotary screen technologies used in packaging and label printing. While narrower than Reproflex's full prepress offering, SPGPrints overlaps in plate/sleeve production and serves a similar label and flexible packaging customer base.
• Hybrid Software: Hybrid Software provides prepress workflow and plate-making software that competes with the Esko platform on which Reproflex has standardized. As an emerging alternative software stack for packaging prepress, it represents a partial substitute threat and is a relevant peer in workflow tooling.
