Speich Copy Print

What Speich Copy Print does

Speich Copy Print AG is a Zürich-based provider of print, plot, archive digitization, and advertising technology services, operating as a brand of Copytrend AG Zürich since 2014. Founded in 1916 as a Lichtpausenfabrik (blueprint factory) in Küsnacht, Speich has evolved into an integrated print and digital services provider serving construction firms, corporate and enterprise clients, government/municipal entities, and private individuals primarily in the Zürich area. The Zurich-area footprint comprises three locations: a production and consulting center in Wallisellen (Medienhaus Zürich, relocated January 2025), a consultation office in Zürich-Seefeld, and a 7-day retail storefront at Zürich Hauptbahnhof operated under the Copyprint Bahnhof AG banner with extended hours. The company is part of the Copytrend Gruppe, which spans 18+ production locations across Switzerland and 100+ group employees.

The company's technical stack spans digital and offset printing, large-format plotting, document scanning with OCR, and two proprietary cloud platforms developed by Copytrend Holding: Documanagement (virtual project rooms for construction industry document exchange with integrated plot/print ordering) and plan3D (3D building capture and modeling). Production capabilities include in-house archiving services, an in-house courier fleet in the Zürich area and Uster, and a B2B online ordering portal (bestellsystem.copytrend.ch). Speich holds the QUALITY PLUS certification from COPYPRINTSUISSE since 2009 as the first member in German-speaking Switzerland, plus FSC, EU Ecolabel, and Nordic Swan certifications for sustainable paper sourcing.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time project-based fees for print, plot, advertising technology, and archive digitization services, supplemented by transaction-fee billing for the Transaktionsdruck service (optimized invoice printing, packaging, and Swiss Post mailing) and managed-services revenue embedded in Documanagement project contracts. The go-to-market is direct B2B field sales with consultation-based selling (Offerte anfragen), augmented by a secure B2B online ordering portal for verified regular customers and a high-traffic retail walk-in storefront at Zürich Hauptbahnhof. Pricing is denominated in CHF excluding VAT, with monthly invoicing available for customers generating at least CHF 200 per month, courier delivery at CHF 15 per trip, and a minimum CHF 20 surcharge for express orders. Named customer references include Peaks Place, Laax (construction, WallGrafX and canvas images) and Stadt Zürich Wasserversorgung (government, digitization of 20,000 technical plans).

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Direct peers

• Onlineprinters (Cimpress): Online commercial printing platform serving European B2B customers with a broad catalogue of print products. Competes directly with Speich's standard print offerings (business cards, flyers, brochures, stationery) on price and online ordering convenience.
• DocuWare: Document management and digitization software company serving mid-market and enterprise customers with DMS, workflow automation, and archiving — directly comparable to Speich's digitization, archive scanning, and Documanagement service lines.
• Flyeralarm: European online B2B commercial printing platform serving SMEs and enterprises with flyers, brochures, business cards, and large-format products across DACH. Direct overlap with Speich's print and plot services for the same customer base, though Flyeralarm operates purely online versus Speich's local production + courier model.
• Druckerei Conrad: German B2B commercial printer offering digital and offset printing, large-format, and finishing services to mid-market customers. Comparable in scale and service mix to Speich with similar traditional-plus-digital service portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• CEWE Stiftung: European printing and photo services group with commercial print, large-format, and photo-print operations across DACH and beyond. A broader incumbent in commercial printing with similar customer segments (retail, corporate) but much wider geographic and product footprint.
• Canon Production Printing: Provider of production printing systems, software, and services for commercial print shops, including high-volume and large-format systems used by Speich. A broader incumbent on the hardware and managed-services side of the commercial print value chain.
• Heidelberger Druckmaschinen: Global manufacturer of offset and digital printing presses plus integrated workflow software for commercial printers. Adjacent as the equipment and workflow backbone that Speich and its peers rely on for production.
• Konica Minolta Business Solutions: Provider of production printing systems, managed print services, and document management solutions across Europe. Broader incumbent on the printing hardware and document workflow side that Speich competes with for enterprise customers.
• Xerox: Global incumbent in production printing equipment, managed print services, and document workflow software. Competes with Speich in production print and document digitization/DMS at the enterprise level.

Emerging players

• Mimeo: Cloud-based commercial printing platform with print-on-demand and document distribution for enterprises. Overlaps with Speich's transaction printing and B2B online ordering capabilities but operates as a pure digital platform without local production.
